I just got 3 post cards in the mail, addressed to three other hams, 2 of
which I knew. 3 of the 4 family members are hams in this household. Still
working on the younger 19 year old one. He's not showing any interest in
anything outside of bowling, on-line game playing, and girls. Hmm, did I
mention he's 19? :)

I loved the explanation that someone made "that the data base must have
burped". I could have used that explanation years ago to explain a screw up
in an Excel data base and subsequent forecast.
Happy 4th to all.
