Dear blueheron77: Your user name caught my attention in the "You and None Other" list under "Fun Statistics". Between the ages of four and ten, I lived in the Oregon Coastal Mountain Range between Eugene and Florence. There was a large snag on the mountainside across the lake. A Blue Heron made its huge nest in the top of that snag. My dad and I would watch it with binoculars. The three books we share: 1) "Crime and Punishment" -- I did a book report on Dostoyevsky's book in high school in 1971-72, 2) "Beowulf" -- I'm trying to learn Old English so that I can read it in the original language. It is slow going, 3) "China - 7000 Years of Discovery" -- Well, if you stop by for a visit, you'll see that I read a great deal on China, it's people, culture, art, language and history. yangguy
