nice work! forget those attacks-most people are too afraid to do anything confrontational that has even the remotest possibility of pissing someone off and they ,in turn, just sit around lilly-livered, waiting for someone else to do it so they can bitch about it. remember : ( and laser etch this into a piece of elemental tungsten 1"x6"x6") "no good deed goes unpunished". hey, you went big, took a chance, and it enriched your life. i'm sure your experience was worth more to you than any monetary value even w/ o a sack-o-skyrox. what you you have learned from your adventure ( and man, i really envey you) is priceless. it's go big, or go home. you went HUGE and now you are going home. congratulations!

>I am glad to be going home, but will miss the exotic

>I will be back.
>I spoke to my driver again, and no news came in from
>the field, so I think this one is case closed.
>Ill be thinking long and hard about who my friends and

>Oh, and by the way, we had tickets for him to go with
>me on this trip, but he cancelled at the last moment.
>I wonder if the accusations would have been the same

>Oh well, I had a blast, saw some horrible and

>See many of you in Gifhorn and Munich in the coming
