Hahaha! I love big game fishing and tight-rope walking, but I don't like making mistakes, so I'm always ready to change my mind at the last second and do the opposite or something completely different from what I was planning a second before. I recall J K Galbraith remarking that as ambassador to India, he was amused that people were spying on him because he didn't know what he'd do himself up until the time he did it and he often changed his mind. So spying wasn't likely to get the right answer. Or words to that effect. Jay, I realized I might be causing you to dribble on your keyboard. <Stop talking dirty, for I am getting excited as a tingle shivers down my spine> I quite enjoyed writing that post about Au as gold instead of Au as cdma2000, but wasn't sure how much you could take at one sitting. ...to be continued.... Mqurice PS: I used to actually do tight-rope walking as a scaffolder several decades ago. Walking across a piece of scaffolding pipe would scare me now and I would not do it. I wouldn't trust my reaction times, strength, eyesight, brain. But it was a frisson of fun at the time for an 18 year old. Nothing below but air [well, ground way below that, but if arriving there, it wouldn't be intact]. My big game fishing is in the markets. Very dangerous because they are hunting too. It's like hunting White Pointer sharks wearing nothing but a bathing suit. Swimming in the crowd, they usually don't see you and if you are quick, you can get some of their babies. There's often blood in the water. It's dangerous. But fun! Shark is delicious to eat too. Some of the sharks have neural net computer models driven by Nobel Prize-winning PhD mathematicians with Black-Holes equations on their side. They write software and create programmes like Deep Blue which can Deep-Six Gary Kasparov in chess, so I need to be very, very careful.
