Glad you're enjoying them. I'm actually going to pretend I'm going to work today...have a case. And I'll just HAVE to needle in some discussion with my boss on the ride out there. He would not be "gotten" by yelling at him, either. Gently, ever so gently. Most people are very fragile. At least the ones I've come in contact with. They have such massive wounds that need tender care to begin the healing process, not busting them open to make them gape open, bleed, and fester. In my experience, I've found that only leads to more pain, infection, and ultimately death.
