Fellow Technoids,

Please allow me a moment to address a few individuals first.

To Steve: Thanks for the "moon tip"... watched ole' luna rise over the local siamese-twin peaks
referred to as Saddleback. What a thrilling sight. I suppose one "good tip" (as in solder
machine tipping, an ever popular pastime in Tulsa) deserved another.

To Jeff: Bravisimo! It's wonderful to know that some of the "left brained" (critical mind)
commnity can successfully exercise the "right brain" (hysterical mind). Or is it the other way
around? <shrug> Anyway, thank you for the chuckle!

To Justin: I'll second that motion! Here in Southern California we're expecting clear skies and
temps of mid to high 70's (F, of course) Cheers! <clink>

To the calendar debate team: The offshore sailing community is planning to meet on 12/31/00
23:59 hrs at lat 0.00 lon 0.00 to be the first on the planet to usher in the new millenium at
the Int'l Dateline and Equator, based on our current system of measuring time. What a debacle it
would be if someone decided to change our current system of measuring things! See y'all there,
no?

To EVERYONE: I wish all a safe and enjoyable holiday!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (for those inclined to political correctness, please edit
preceding as you see fit. Also, please see post from Jack)

P.S. This post saved me 1,500 +/-100 Christmas cards @ $1.00 ea. plus postage $0.33 = $1,995.00
+/- $133.00. What a cost savings! I should tell my boss!
