Donald,
I don't know what it costs to see a game in Dallas, here it would be
about $600.00 for me to take my family of four to a Canadians game,
I don't know how people afford it ! When I was in Atlanta in
December, I saw a game for $10, the exact price to buy a beer in
Montreal ;-)
As for your seedling, it has the same appendages but the spoons don't
always show up but they always have the nice long horns.
Judging from what you're saying, it seems like you're putting in 12
hour work days. Don't run yourself ragged !
