<Boy, had complications on birth that required a week in teh hospital. In our more efficient and lower cost economy, the bill was over 45K.> I don't have to tell you that based on hedonic price adjustments made for improvements in healthcare over the past 10 years your stay was not much more than it would have been in 1990.<vbg> DAK

Boy, .... He is fine now. That's great, glad to hear. Why can't we go to war with some nice tropical island with white sandy beaches? <ggg> I think we have a couple times. -g- I have dove most of the big battle sites like Truk and Palau where a bunch still lays on the ocean floor. Pretty damn impressive. You think an oosik is big, wait till you see one of the Yamatto's projectiles! 18 inch bore, I think they were about 3600 lbs. Sailors would get knocked down just from the blast wave coming off those big BB's guns. -g-
