    Default I'm baaaaack!!!

    I know, most of you didn't even know I was gone. I spent the last 11 days touring Southern Europe (Italy, Greece, and Turkey). It was nice but am sure glad to be back in the US.
    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    I'm sure Greece was a riot.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    HEH ... I guess there were some demonstrations going on while I was in Athens but I didn't see them. It was not hard to tell that the people are NOT happy but for once it was not about the US; they are more focused on their economy and the EU stuff.

    Greece was interesting. We did the usual tourist thing (Athens/Crete). Prices were 'ok' (meaning not exhorbitant) as long as you stayed away from the "street vendors" who are obviously out to make a quick buck with shoddy goods. The restaraunts and cafes were good and had fair prices. Transportation was realistic as far as prices go (taxis/buses). The people were friendly as far as I could tell (who knows what they were saying in Greek!) Most of the locals we ran into spoke some english; the rest was all Greek to me. I did enjoy the sites and the guides were very good. It was apparent that there are MANY unemployed and all the taxi drivers and bus drivers were on the radios all the time to avoid any areas where there were demonstrations etc. going on.

    I saw a few guests reading this thread from who's online, really just bots, but got me to open it.

    Man, what I wouldn't give if CSM was just on assignment in various countries and would just come back. Miss him and Gaffer on here.
