Hi Hiama! May I first apologize on behalf of all techies for shooting down one of your airplanes by mistake. We also shot down some of our own, of course, not to mention bombarded allied Canadians (and I did apologize to Blatham at the time) but our faulty electronics were to blame - well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
"The crew described seeing a Patriot radar image of what appeared to be an incoming ballistic missile, according to a transcript from station KTVT. "Suddenly, an employee of Raytheon . . . yelled, 'Don't shoot! Don't shoot!' Soldiers present breathed sighs of relief and told our news crew that, 'We just came close to shooting down a Navy F-18,' " the transcript states."

Have a glass of Roederer Cristal, come and sit next to me, and tell me your latest adventures.....
Hey guys.........it's hailing here......big thunder storm with beautiful lightening. Sooooo good to see HIAMA and HofT. Mind if I join you two here on the sofa? It's so good to be here with friends.
Lola - do we still have personnel in your establishment? Lost track, sorry. Assuming we don't - here's the ice bucket with another bottle of Cristal! Cheers.
Haven't rcvd anything at the e-mail address I posted; do you still have the correspondence? Does Blatham? Pls let me know when you have a sec. Thanks!
Hi Hoft...........I'll see if a little dynamite will help.
But yes, Wassau and the entire crew are here in the cafe, at your service.
uh...(gulp)...My God! Is that Brad Pitt over there!?
Within hours I will sort out request and data.
Thanks, Bernie. If you get no response on my posted e-mail address pls send directly to Seydlitz. Thanks to you, Lola, and everybody here for helping in this project.
No its me Bernie, not Brad Pitt, enjoying the Cristal and working up to some nice Petrus.
Been away for a while, has Wassau been decorating or has that Moose head always been there ?
Time for some more Petrus methinks-Bernie, Lola, HoFT care to join me ?
What HofT's gone again-no doubt still on that secret mission-hush no details now you never know who is watching.
That color hair suits you Lola, you are positively blooming.
Thanks, HIAMA...........how did you know I changed my hair color today? I'm now blonder......or is it more blond? See, the color has already affected my mental capacity.............oh well, it's worth it and only for the Summer.
I'll have a large glass of the stuff you're drinking. Thank you very much.

Have we an interloper or is someone playing games?
ft
that's a little bit weird, ft.
Sit down here with HIAMA, Blatham, HofT, Wassau and me..........have a drink.
Don't mine if I do. I'll have a pot of tea and some cucumber sandwiches thinly sliced, if you please.
ft
Tks, and btw Skwerl is there by invitation - mine, to be precise.
HofT........... I should have known.
Blatham - try once again, please, will you, the e-mail address you gave to Seydlitz didn't work... Tks!

hiama...it's been too long. Ya get off the bottle and ya lose friends, it's axiomatic.
Actually, that's my ex mother-in-law up there. She was a kind soul...well, no, I suppose I have to admit she wasn't really, but she did allow that the family might dispose of her remains in any convenient manner so long as her dignity was not damaged (some criteria are easier to manage than others). No, I don't know who threw the darts up there. Good grouping though.
Lola - Skwerl can write, whether he wants to write on that subject I don't know yet but will find out.
Blatham - hope it's OK to give Skwerl your e-mail address as posted onSeydlitz's thread so he can contact you about getting the papers. He is [*] @ comcast.net Thanks!

POST HASTE NOTE tks ossobuco, didn't realize forum posts addresses as clickable links, thanks very much for bringing it to my attention!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
{*} yet another edit pursuant to Ossobuco's friendly reminder in the post following this one.....
Ahem, folks, it isn't the greatest idea, as I understand it, to put email addresses on forum posts, this or any other. Various webspy things pick them up, I think, and soon you have spammo. Could you perhaps pm each other?
Please correct me if I am wrong, I mean this as a friendly comment.
edit to change thus to this, back mid post. or... Bluster to bliss. Plus to piss. Muss to miss. And so on.
Thanks, Osso........I don't know if it's so, but in any case it's a wise thing to consider.
My my my, this place is getting all busy. Just like old times.
<looking out the back window>
That pool out there will soon be ready for summer. I'm ready..........how about the rest of you? It's a nice night for a tree house visit.
Cont'd to Ossobuco, no I can't e-mail right now, but hope that my edit fixed the problem.
Hope no damage was done while the address appeared as an actual address; you're right about bots trawling and collecting e-mail addresses.
Btw, nice to see you again!
Lola - did you say treehouse? You're always welcome up here, just be careful with all my electronics if coming in dripping wet from the pool. Do we have a heated pool?
