Peter, I would never take that for granite, it just wouldn't be gneiss!

Gary, I am not sure if you are just being cryptic in your spelling of cemetery or whether you are unearthing a new plot.

Peter, if one spread cornstarch on the ground and stirred, would the plot thicken?

I have to go now and get some Vicks Formula 44 to stop this coffin...

Gary: I really dig your imagination. I must stop by with my Fuji 9.6 (X)Zoom digital cam to get a few photos.

Here in Michigan in the deep of winter the dew point can get down around 0 and then in the summer the dew point can get above 70 ... no matter how many humidifiers and air conditioners you have there will be a big change of humidity in your house ....

So every year I have to tighten the truss rods in the fall and loosen them in the spring ... I have 13 basses and most of them need this done ...

I have a very similar climate on the east coast of Canada. I find that the key is the humidity provided in the winter and that it is best controlled by keeping the instrument with a humidifer (or even two) in the case. Then the increase in humidity in the summer has less of an effect.
