Thomas, 
My wife decided to go back to school now that my daughter is fairly self
sufficient. It's a sad out there in the classrooms. Sadder yet is that
they are our future leaders.

I did tell my wife "Hey, I took care of the first 20 you take the next"
:-)

Subject: [Leica] RE:Funny Story, was Dumb camera thieves

This reminds me of a funny (yet true) story.  When I was in grad school
I
tended bar with a fellow from Wales who was working on his Phd in Math
at
the same school.  Since we had both played soccer at our undergrad
schools
and had the same tastes in beer and girls, we became good friends.  One
day
he came in with the hiccups from laughing so hard.  When queried, he
told me
it was the first day of a freshman pre-calc class that he was teaching
and
he had everyone do quick introductions.  After the students gave their
names
and hometowns, he told them he was originally from Wales, etc.  He asked
the
class if they had any questions before they got started...

...and an attractive young woman in the front complemented him on his
English and asked if he learned it before or after coming to the USA
from
Wales...

Sorry but I have to respond to that.

A number of countries in your 'Europe' do not use the Euro (sadly in my
opinion) in which case in what continent do you think the UK, Sweden et
al are in?? We are all Europeans over here regardless of the currency we
use. I don't understand why you have to feel that a continent is
identified by its currency. Maybe it's the inherent capitalist nature of
North America which make some people think like that or maybe is a
simple misunderstanding of a strange land over the ocean... who knows.

HEY!

Don't lump all of us North Americans together.  Some of us are actually
educated, non-xenophobic, and ethnically and cultural diverse (and
aren't
afraid to say so!).
