True .. . .by the way Doug I have to admit you were right all along. This
union business is definitely the way to go. Once I decided to give up and
join in life got better, dramatically better, immediately. Right now we're
all hanging and waiting for the new budget to get passed. There's lots of
paychecks in that one. I find that most, with few exceptions, don't make
the same mistake as Bobspit. That is trying to apply standards and values
to the situation when you represent a bankrupt and .how shall I say it . .
faintly ridiculous to silly but completely amoral . .yes that's it . .
..viewpoint. It's enough for my membership, the union brothers and sisters,
to take the money and leave the why's to those with lots of time to waste on
such nonsense. Only thing thats important is how much and who's signing the
check. Sorry I missed you on the lower Chesapeake and I'm still reading
your book amongst others. I missed, I'm sure, the threads on how your
summer trip turned out. In any case .. . . I bet the thread had enough hook
in it to get somebody thrashing in the water. Doubtless those who never
understood the "real" .asa.

Cheers and what do you have planned next?
