Good to see you back around Maurice... even if just for a quick rant. Any chance you'll be mingling with the masses on Tuesday in San Diego?

Another "money falling off of an armored car" story :

Armored Cars Spill Coins

Filed at 9:06 p.m. EST

By The Associated Press

An armored car dropped about 400,000 pennies on a highway in Washington
state Friday, a day after Wisconsin officers scrambled to scoop up $1,000 in
quarters spilled on a freeway there.

``It was all pennies -- pennies from heaven,' Trooper Monica Hunter said of
the spill on an Interstate-5 off-ramp in Seattle.

The truck was moving quickly and ``the back door flew open and out came
the pennies from heaven,' she said.

State Transportation Department personnel picked up the coins with no help
from passersby, Hunter said. ``We didn't allow anybody to be enterprising on
this one,' she said.

In Wisconsin, a 50-pound bag of quarters fell from the rear of an armored
truck on U.S. 53 in a suburb of Eau Claire on Thursday.

About a dozen employees of the security company and five police officers
collected the coins, and no passersby tried to make off with any, said police
Sgt. Harry Gordee.

``It was very orderly,' Gordee said. ``If it had been $100 bills lying there,
who knows what would have happened?'

Hunter in Washington state said coins were hardly the most unusual highway
spills.

``A couple weeks ago it was cut-up cows -- there was blood and animal parts
everywhere,' she said. ``The stench from that was horrible.'

Morrie,
How was the AGM? Would be, or should I say, I am very interested in what went down today, or up- whatever the case may be. How was the golf with the new clubs?
I have a new Puter, hence the post. I am off to the DR tomorrow to get my results, tremble tremble.
For the benefit of all wanting to here about the meeting, or celebration.
Americas Cup is still New Zealands Cup.

Bon Cheers, John.
