I thank you Fordster, and I have since been told that
both Mike (whom I hadn't met) and Roger (whom I had
Way Back When at the G) actually exist quite well
together - if somewhat acerbically from time to time.
---------------------------------------------------
And I can, after all, always ask Efraim Halevy to send
the Metsada crew at ha-Mossad le-Modi'in ve-Tafkidim
Meyuhadim over for a corrective interview with Michael
... jess kiddin of course, Michael seems like an
all-right guy to me.
---------------------------------------------------
As for the camels, "long may they run," to paraphrase
Neil Young. One man's camel dung is, after all,
another man's desert diamond ... just remember to
shake with the right among the Bedoui, Jon.
---------------------------------------------------
Finally, always remember this bit of Scots wisdom -
"It's hard werk takin' the breeks off a hielan' man."
---------------------------------------------------
Good to see you alive and still Pontificating oh Droll
One. I hear you are out in California now?
