Hi, Jacqueline!

You asked Heather:

> I Hope you like it. What is a Majorie Plum? Jacqueline

I take it you are not familiar with some literary masterpieces, such as this 
interdialectical one:

   Marjory Plum
   Stuck out her thumb
   And bummed a ride to Dover,
   But her humming was dumb,
   Her new chum soon got glum,
   And her bum ended up in the clover.

Good thing I'm off to the airport and you get a few hours' peace.

Reinhard/Ron
