I asked her to look in the other direction and tell me if she didn't see that the road was a dead end with a high fence across it, and a very large stand of trees. Then I told her that if something was going to hit me through all of that, that I had more to worry about than looking down 20 feet of dead end street. She told me that she was still going to fail me. I just smiled and told her that I would be happy to explain it to her supervisor, and to my boss at the TV station. She signed my papers. ;-) -- ?

She signed my papers. ;-) I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm in Florida, driving out of a short dead-end street with a high fence and a large stand of trees. -- Thanks, - Win

I'd like to meet you, after chatting on the newsgroups for so many years. ;-) -- ? Michael A. Terrell Central Florida
