Not a word. Wondering what has happened to the Texas Flash.

I'm a safety consultant in the construction and hydrocarbon processing
industries. Downsized myself in 1991 from corporate work to working for myself.
It has taken several years to get to where we are with the business now but it
has been worth it. Lot more relaxed attitude, no more ulcers, no more office
politics, etc.

A propensity for arthritis, aging, etc. That's what my docs tell me. Probably
true for all of us as we age.

You're paying for yours, he'd better be good. Mine was at the VA and was a new
resident with no supervision. Will still say the prayer though.
