Good quotes, wstera_02! You sure find some good stuff. How you doing? You make any coins last week? You still trading some? Birds come back? We had some bright yellow finches show up the other day. Have lots of brown finches but these were very bright yellow. We have a purple finch at times, but that's rare. RR

YOU DECIDE You may wish to Boycott. . .France has every right to disagree with America. But France has moved from simple dissent to active hostility toward America. French President Chirac warned East European nations that if they side with America, France will oppose their membership in the European Union.This week, William Safire reported in the New York Times that France has been secretly helping to arm Iraq and has been helping Iraq build long range missiles. These same missiles may soon be used against American soldiers. Just as France is exercising its right to disagree, Americans can exercise their right to boycott -- and avoid helping companies and countries that do no stand with America. Please review this list of major French companies that Americans should boycott.
