    Thanks for the comment Jon. I encourage you to speak with friends and colleagues about the election. The race is so tight right now that it could go either way.

    John, Haven't heard from you in a while. How are things going? I have to have another surgery, this time to revise my bone. I got infection in it and lost about another 2 inches. Now I don't have enough stump for a leg, so I managae to get around on crutches. Not so bad, but I do have the tendency to go too back and lose my balance. Like everything else in life I'm in too big of a burry to get things done and go someplace. Take care hope to hear from you.

    Jon Sorry it took me so long to respond. The buffalo meat is wonderful. I just received it a week ago, and have had almost everyone over for dinner. I love the outdoors like you do. If I just can get over this 3rd surgery, I will be extremely appreciative. Take care and thanks for the works for encouragement.

    Hey Jon - That's my diagnosis as well. I decided to kiss the front of an Amtrak Acela while it was moving and I lost. Sure looks beautiful where you hang your hat. Give my best to Fred and have a great weekend.
