Sir Wallace,

AS always, your roofing tales result in a hearty chuckle from me.

Jim

I don't think I have ever seen one of those in any size or scale. Are they that uncommon or did I just miss them?

Thanks,

David - I can't answer your question from personal experience- I catch fish and I eat fish, but I also catch and release fish. However, I do know folks who enjoy fishing for what it is, but do not like to eat fish. I just have to relate another of what I consider to be a classic Al line. The subject...

Quite a "bonus extra"! I like it.

Jim

Sad news indeed! As I mentioned before Al was an important part of my early switchblade education coming up on 20 years ago.

Jim

Jim

Good luck guys! I certainly understand your motivation. I've been working some in Mass. again and see the politics and the frustration of folks like you with the state. I'm in Cambridge so you know what I see.
