Hey, George -- ask yer buddy if he maintains full rights & priviledges to his quote.....

I can think of at least 5 situations in which I could have replaced at least 5 lesser impacting expletives.

1. It amazes me that we are having this conversation in the first place
2. perhaps the 'follow the ridge' person has never been in a whiteout (a sensitive subject with me -- see avitar)
3. perhaps there must always be a contrarian in the mix, causing us to relate/emphasize what would otherwise be patently obvious.

Uh-oh, the head cold is taking over my otherwise impeccable manners....better sign off at this point...

The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.
