They say pride goeth before a great fall :) Nicely done Jeff! As for persimmons, I believe there is a conspiracy among the trees on our property. heehee Linda

indeed! in our case, perhaps thousands of persimmons on a single tree. i can shake the tree and none come down, and a few hours later, there are 20 more on the ground.
