Thanks - good to hear. Hopefully we'll get lucky and the snow will miss
us.

No problem. Hubby might appreciate it, anyway. (And somebody here
*did* actually mention BBQ tofu, so who knows?)

You know, this is just the sort of really obvious thing I probably
wouldn't think of at the time. Thanks! :-)

The really "local" local library, no. (I live in the sticks. Our
library is an adorable *very* old building with a few book shelves of
*really* old books. They don't even use library cards - just ask for my
name. And if I visited a bit more regularly, they wouldn't even have to
do that, LOL.)

However, I still keep a card for a "not quite so local" library with a
MUCH better selection, including books on CD - so I will definitely be
checking that out. :-)
