Yes, thanks for checking up on that Chris.
In the confusion of while loops and unions and such I thought I hadn't any translation
(movement) of the glows
even with the translate and rotate inside the glow statements unless location was
given some number to start
with.
Rechecked it myself just now and sure enough they do get placed even with a location 0
put first.  Mind playing
tricks on me again.
