Oh, and those at the helm are still calling for the crew to accelerate the vessel. <br /><br />Me, I had glimmers this was happening but like most people I was too busy with everyday life/ bills and events to take time to research more thoroughly until I retired.

There’s no guarantee that even these attributes will get the boat down the river to the next calmer patch safely, but they do promise much greater probabilities than lunk-headed insistence on prior privilege, the status quo, and 'this is how we do things here.'" -- Mike Connelly at http://jcoconsulting.net/wagon-trains-and-white-water?mod=truebill.everetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16920758387477620473noreply@blogger.com
