Heatmiser 0 #7 November 25, 2009 He kept saying how smooth it's going after they lost sight of him in the clouds, and I kept thinking, what do you mean, you don't know where he is? Looks like they found him. Good deal. What you say is reflective of your knowledge...HOW ya say it is reflective of your experience. Airtwardo Someone's going to be spanked! Hopefully, it will be me.
