Welcome back.

imprisoned.
In fact between you and the shootings of Gabby and company the mood at the

Hi Mike, Robert and List,
I concur with what some of the others said - I don't recall anyone
being happy you guys were sitting in an Omani prison. Of course, when
the news got around, people did talk about it, and it did result in
the expected debates about hunting, legalities, and the like.
Good afternoon Mike, Robert and Folks,
MikeG echoes my sentiments exactly. Its great to have you guys back safe
and sound. Welcome back.
