Thanks, Len. I had read this article, but I'm sure that there were people who hadn't and who found it gave them a moment's pause.

<<He did yield, and discovered later that not only had he become used to the curtains, but he had actually come to like them. They had the opposite experience buying a house, he said, when they had to decide whether to pay much more for a water view. If they got used to it and ended up paying little attention, it was not worth the money. "We have never gotten used to it," he said. "The pleasure we get from the view is unending. It was worth it.">> This is a very interesting observation, and reminds me of the year I lived in a cottage right on the beach on an island, watching sailboats, windsurfers and everything else go by my front porch. There is nothing as enriching as a water view, if you love water. I must have spent hours a day just gazing into the waves, when my little daughter and I weren't walking along the dock or the beach. It was a really magical time--we even trained our three kittens to follow us on our walks, a sweet little row of kittens. What is that phrase about it being difficult and frustrating and almost impossible as herding cats? I can tell you that it is doable if you start when they are young enough.
