I’m glad Mike is aware of the importance of a self-examination now and then. Clean bill of health! Be sure and get fresh air and water..Also good to learn that I don’t like slapstick.

Friend of mine had an electronics shop there but left when shots were fired into his place.

(I use the term as a euphemism for the stronger term that I have in mind.) Flame throwers are everywhere. You just have to put up with them.
