Tdm, good for you and your family, enjoy your hikes as I do!

One thing that gets my goat (or is it gander) is a celebrity on some inane tv show
stating that they're useless with figures , as if it was something to boast about.

I wonder if their agent who takes 10 percent could be taking 20 percent
and they wouldn't know. Leonard Cohen and Elton John ripped off for
huge amounts.

Mind you, it worked for Harry Redknapp, he escaped a huge tax bill claiming
he was practically illiterate and couldn't count! As  they say in Bonnie
Scotland  "Aye , right".
