They would have spent the money no matter where it was located, so I have no guilt for accepting it. I would do it again in a heartbeat, but that does not mean that I do not find the excesses crazy. If you are ever going to be west of Indy, let me know if you want to visit (just not between Oct 1 and the first week of January). I am an obsessed deer hunter.


In my opinion, that took courage. I don't think I could do that, asking them to come onto my property. I have nothing to hide, but would be afraid that once I invited them, I would be powerless to get rid of them....sorta' like vampires in the movies. wink

Appreciate the gracious invite, and would be pleased to visit for a spell!


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
