Rykk >> Thanks for the explanation for Barry Bonds and his cream. By way of a coincidence Art Spander wrote in the Daily Telegraph this morning when reporting the 'American View' of sport in America during 2005, and I quote.......... "Barry Bonds, the San Francisco Giants outfielder mired in the BALCO controversy, as well as into the record books, had his own vanishing act. Accussed of steroid use, and in full denial, Bonds missed all but the last three weeks of the season due to knee surgery. Some conspiracy theorists suggested it was an easy way to avoid suspension, but Bonds' return in September, and his five home runs that left him six behind Babe Ruth's total of 714 disproved the idea" I suppose in Biblical terms he was 'sore afraid' of losing, so sore in fact that he had to put some cream on it!!! I've finished the winter scene (I hope) and will post the WIP in a new thread. ligt >> Thank you very much for the Title. I've decided to call it 'Winterwonderland' Dennis
