>PS. BTW, what does *chuckle* mean? It has some to do with the nasty habit of chewing tobacco by the cowboys (kind of onomatopoeia)?

Fernando;

You have the answer - to laugh to ones self, etc.

Regarding chewing tobacco... My grandfather in the state of Oregon was a cowboy and chewed tobacco. Grandma had a very important rule about tobacco chewing – “NOT IN THE HOUSE”! That made me laugh as a five-year-old and I will never forget it! Grandma always got her way! :)

In a few short weeks we are going to Oregon to have an Air Force Reunion and I will stop by to see where my father was raised – Ukiah, Oregon.

Some baseball players chew tobacco – yuck!
