    Hi Sid....sorry for the late reply....been out of pocket for awhile. A lady you met a few years ago in KC passed away last week. Fern Alice Martin was 86 and went peacefully in her sleep. I was glad that you Gip, Doc, Tom, Cindy, Stu, Bobda, and Bill got to meet her at the reunion. Hope I didn't forget anybody.

    Anyway, the guy that has this suit going on, also had a similar suit in Omaha about putting salt on the roads during winter. He's a real tree hugger and I appreciate his concern....but If the snakes don't get ya, the Aligators will.

    I'm sure the Judge presiding over the case is a season ticket holder.....bets anybody?

    AJ, I'm very sorry for your loss. Your perspective is accurate re: the vicious cycle of life. I'm glad I had the privilege of meeting her and your dad and getting to know them. I learned from talking to them how you were raised to be the class individual you are. Speaking as a grandparent, I'm sure one of their greatest gifts in their lives is seeing how you are raising your children.

    My condolences, AJ. One of my favorite parts of that trip was meeting your Mom and Dad. Could tell right away that both were members in good standing of the Greatest Generation.

    Sorry for you loss AJ.

    Any chance you can release inflatable tree huggers at the start of the game instead?
