It does make it look like the tractor had signalled a long patient left turn, started to take it, and the impatient car behind decided to floorboard it into passing gear and try to pass the poor tractor driver at the WRONG time. I have seen so many jerks try to abuse a "slow" farm equipment guy so often, that I hope you will forgive me if I show that prejudice publicly

We love our acreage up here in AA County

Everyone was fine.. even the fusion driver who was the one on the stretcher. It was a young driver who thought it would be ok..
And we love our acreage as well..give me land any day!

Where did this thread go?

Severe thread drift. Plus I have had too many other things distracting me from getting this back on track.

JB, Robyn and I arrive in LA on the Wednesday, probably staying in Hollywood for the night. We're booked into the Holiday Inn from Friday, however I am likely to alter our reservation to include Thursday night.

I'll be there from Thursday on. I don't know timing yet as I still have to book my flight.

I plan on arriving Thursday day - still have to book flight and a room.

Senor Biscuti, I'm arriving around 10:30 pm on Thursday too.

Senor Brown, what airline are the two of you flying in on?

Hi kids. I've never been to one of these Conferluencey things. To my knowledge, I've only met one forumite (I expect that to double this weekend.)

It may be possible for me to go to this, but I can't commit yet. I'm a little unclear on what goes on, but it sounds like there is a lot of drooling, drinking, eating and playing. Not necessarily in that order. Okay. Maybe in that order. Feel free to set me straight on this.

I sometimes know which end of the guitar to blow into to make the notes come out and I'm a pretty good singer with a good range (yes, I have been known to channel the Sweet Inspirations sometimes when doing backup vocals on Suspicious Minds.)

Not to brag, but I have been a champion drooler and eater. I was once a pro at drinking, but I retired long before money and free agency ruined the sport.

sounds like there is a lot of drooling, drinking, eating and playing.

Just add "meeting some great folks" and that pretty much sums it up.
