Mary: Go to the web site and check out the recoveries for TX - I came
up with 1135! I don't have time to scan all these records but a quick
glance shows that the number tagged in Sept that have been recovered
in MX is low. I spotted one record for 20 Aug but I have to wonder if
this was an error in recording or entry. Most of the Sept recoveries
are after the 23rd.
I just refined the search and there are 162 recoveries from Sept. and
that one from August.
