Mar 28

Although I’m not in the same boat. I was in the Netherlands on Monday, Belgium Tuesday, France yesterday, back in Belgium today, Holland tomorrow, and have to run down to Spain on Monday. My biggest disability at the moment is my inability to slow down like I was intending to. If I ever start spouting nonsense like that guy, then lock ME up, since it’s my taxes, in part, that pay for the money that HE lives on.
