Glad to see you back Gary. I, for one, enjoy your posts and appreciate your perspective even when it is wrong. Who among us are always right? Only Slider, ya know!! Hope things get better on the home front. Take care!

Jeez, Gary, Keep in touch, OK? You didn't post for a few days and your absence caused great concern here. The wailing and moaning on the thread was making my dogs howl. As to being wrong, I think it's a very good trait to be able to accept that one miscalculated, say so, and use the experience in making future decisions. --I always have concerns about the judgement of people who seem to have too much of their self-esteem invested in being right every time. Skews their perspective, imho. Also inclines them to lie to themselves and others. --Being willing to re-consider, re-calculate, and say "I was wrong" or "I am changing my prediction" is good, imho. One of my uncles was teaching me to sail when I was a little grrl, and I ran the boat onto a sandbar. He said "Anyone that's never run aground hasn't sailed far." regards, diana
