Your code look like there's a bonfire in its windows? *grin* Sorry, I
couldn't resist that one. Yes it's off topic, but have you ever really
looked at a Thomas Kincaide painting? Notice the windows. Every single
window of every single structure he has ever painted looks like there
is a roaring boinfire in the building. Have you ever seen a structure
that was so bright inside? *grin*
