Thanks for the thoughts Dealie... Yep, that was a pretty decent earthquake we had here today, 6.8. A real roller, since it was so deep....30 miles or so. There is damage being discovered on some of our bridges, roads, airport runways, etc.....some of the oldest buidings in the Pioneer Square area had brick walls collapse, but there were relatively few injuries, amazingly. I have heard of 4 critical injuries. I have some tidying up to do, but we are all safe... Best wishes to you too, Scott

Hi Dealie and all Just wanted to say hi to everyone. This market sucks big time. Just when you think it can`t go any lower, it does. I finally changed my account to a cash account. Should`ve done that a long time ago. I thought I had lost a lot on March 17th. I`d be thrilled to have that back now. Anyway..Still alive and well and that certainly counts for a lot. I guess the condos in Naples will support me in retirement. Are we planning a get together this year? I haven`t even been lurking here much. I`m really out of the loop. My mares are all due on May first this year. Well-- four of them are due May 1st and one two weeks later and then another two weeks later Hope everyone is doing good. I`m going to try to post a little more and keep up with you guys again. Love Danger
