$3400.00 today. Missed that $2000 one dang it.

Also must add that Calvin and Hobbes cartoonist is Bill Watterson. Not sure about that Final Jeopardy question LT. Think it is bogus.

Not sure if it was my mis-read or the publisher's error.................will check my source book when i'm back at my desk tuesday.

GOOD CATCH!
