I've got part of it:

NDSMD: Non draco sit mihi dux. The English: May the dragon (devil) be not to me a guide. ... CSSML: Crux sacra sit mihi lux. The English: May the Holy Cross be to me a light.

Devil of a good job there, Charlie!

I'm always a day late and a dollar short. By the time I get my research posted you have the maker's mothers' cousin's great granddaughter's telephone number and hat size. But usually I'm at work while doing these and have to keep up appearances. Great work.

I'll second that, and say the same for you as well, MJ!

I've long since given up trying to keep pace with you two— not to mention a few other fiendishly efficient and uncommonly cunning researchers around here— but I still enjoy coming down to the track now and then.
