Just realized that this was not re-numbered correctly after I added more to the list. Your addition would definitely be a welcome addition for number 12. Thanks again.

Hello David - Your number 9 is certainly appropriate! Thanks for stopping by. Seems like I am obsessed with snails...they are interesting creatures that are all over my yard (and house).
