I intend to settle up on the beer deal too. Dale you've been missed. Good to see you have not been devoured by black bears or, as one rumor about you went, being held captive by rabid moose. By the way is it true that in Maine when they are talking about more than one moose they say meese?

I'll be in New York for the next couple of weeks so won't be on the board here I don't think. We should set something up though. Maybe Lee can rep for Vermont at this gathering...we'll get RI and CT at some point maybe.

You know despite our political differences I don't think there's any doubt that all the folks who come here are good and decent folks...and to tell you the truth I'd love to have a gathering of all that come to this board come Election day in November...whatever way it turns out this group all seem to be concerned citizens...course we may want to keep Dale and Eric at least 20 or so feet apart as the results come in but it'd be a hell of a time.

I didn't see the show in question either so I have no comment on it. I'm not an O'Reilly fan obviously but he's better than Rush, Ingraham, or Hannity. If you ever hear any of those three O'Reilly sounds like Al Franken next to them.
