I like your occasional use of the word "grotty." I've rarely heard that word since the 1980's, and I can safely say that I've NEVER seen it in print. I hadn't even thought about how it was spelled until I saw how weird it looked on your journal. I would have guessed g-r-o-a-t-y.

Not even close, Gregory. We started consideration at one million dollars, and decided even that would not even come close to convincing us to give it a try.
