David, just so my intent is clearer, the term piker is generally used amongst friends in a teasing way.

Further, I am in absolute agreement, anything below 50 is positively inhumane. The only thing between calling you a piker and 60 degrees is jelousy (mine). Why my ancestors chose this part of the world to take up residence is beyond me. I stay here because all my neighbors have moved to your state and driven the price of real estate beyond what I can afford. smile
