He's not around here because he and mrs. Herring are camping in Gettysberg at the huge bluegrass festival going on there. The weather is in their 70's and they're enjoying the shows and being around friends. I'm glad they're having a great time.

By the way, he did ask me to tell everyone here 'hello' . He said that because the weather is great and the music jams, Gettysberg is the place to be this week.
So honoring his wishes, "Hello" from John...
