Ladies, I beg your pardon.  I mis-typed portions of this article because my letter  “L” wasn’t working.  Every time I tried to type “L”, the computer came up with an “R”.   I’m sorry that I do not have time to retype this article right now.  For the correct version just substitute L every time you see the word PIRATES.  The computer was supposed to type the word PILATES.

OOPS!
