@Crash : Have you seen any sign that the party in the street is about to martialize ? Some of my two & three year T-bills show a raising of value.
Party on, Derf

@hank ; I'm watching the game & just finished your last comment. With that said I hope the Brewer players take note on how the Dodgers hit the ball.
