I read that the way you do, Susan. Additionally, we are currently subject to the AWA and the attendant regulations on identification therein. This goes to appeal very shortly and we can but pray for a win against DDAL.
For those of you showing in the Boston area, be advised that there is a new AR terrorist group called "SHAC". Apparently they have emigrated from the UK where they were firebombing and making death threats against anyone associated with a pharmaceutical company they had targeted. Two of them were arrested Saturday after a four month campaign terrorizing the family of a man who sold insurance to this company. Perhaps those of you in the UK are familiar with them?
