My first thought, upon reading *buckeye* was why would he
carry a peanut butter and chocolate candy in his pocket at
this time of year????  Doesn't it make a mess in your

Then of course, I realized that you meant the nut that the
candy/cookie is named after!!  I had a very good belly laugh
at myself!
