If you're suffering a bit, try going for a brisk walk or get yourself engrosed into something thoughtfully interesting. Next you'll be needing to do a thorough clean-up to get rid of the lingering stale smells as your own sense of smell and taste come back. Avoid using "air freshners", they just add to whatever stink regardless of what the advertising claim! Good luck, And good smoke-free crunchin!

Speaking of promises, how's SETI.USA going? I see zeitgeist seems to have dropped off. Is the promissory note for the auction still being upheld? I was going to check on that....I think the first installment is due July 1st.... EDIT....after reading the Seti USA bid again, it looks like the first installment payment is due at the end of July for July's crunching.... What meowing lurks in the hearts of man?

I was always too much of a tightwad to smoke. When I might have smoked the price though piddling by todays' standards, still amounted to 2/3 of my income at the time. I am proud of your efforts. Keep it up. By the way have you heard how John Gant is doing. If you make it to Xmas I'll donate to Fox Valley. Ed Do not live your life for anyone else.
