[ADXA] End of the year contemplation's

[Dennis Schaefer]

I think George has been reading "The Art of War".   He just wants us to
take him lightly!   He's still way ahead and if he can get up a decent
antenna for 80, he'll pull away even further.  I can see a 65 foot pole in
the front yard for "Christmas lights".

Don't think we believe a word of it, George - we've known you too long!
You're the top dog in the valley.  Lead the way - we'll be yapping at your
heels and wondering what to do if we actually catch that car :)


73,
