It is good to reconnect with old friends, glad to see everybody that is still here. I know in the last few years we have lost some friends and that always hurts. I guess that is one of the reasons I decided to come back and tell everybody I am still kicking.

River: Good to hear you're still alive and kicking. Getting old is hell, and I'm suffering the effects of it, too, a little case of heart disease which has slowed me down considerably but not stopped me yet. My best to you.

You know better!

Not to change the subject to weather, but temps dropping below 90. Now lets see if it is false autumn. Some years we get a teaser in mid-September and then a blast of summer heat until middish October, some years the heat breaks in mid-September.

Moi, you know there is no talk of politics on the archive. I know you know this. My first and last word on this subject, I support elections.

The next person to mention the hot lady and the old man get a lifetime ban.

END OF STORY
