    And so am I (now TW...well she is from the L.A. Basin) anyway, GL and OTH are perfectly normal...it's the folks in between and especially to the west!

    Yes Dear...I know...I am too, but my parents got me out before 1st grade and the indoctrination of left leaning liberals got a hold on me!

    Well, I guess I've jumped through enough hoops.......for now, at least. Got a call from my recruiter today and, barring any unforeseen stuff, I start May 31 at Millington. ####, looks like this deal is about to happen. I think what I'm most excited about is doing more than the part-time work (bus driving) I've been doing for the past 9 months. I know, I know, driving is way more than 40hrs/week but in past lives I've done the 60-70+ hours gigs from "kin to kaint". We'll see! One thing is for sure, this is the most topsy, turvy, changes-by-the minute work I will have ever attempted.
    Thanks for all the help and advice!!!!
