Yes, the Yankee's have been slowly sneaking into the Virginia's year after year and have been moving the Mason/Dixon south just a little every 4 months or so. They will reach the Florida Keys by late 2012.jhuskey said:

"I hear her voice
In the mornin hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin down the road I get a feelin
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday"

“Took my fam'ly away from my Carolina home
Had dreams about the West and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there”
And
“Way down around Vicksburg, Around Louisiana way
Lived a cajun lady, Aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine”

Spent the last year
Rocky Mountain Way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture
Think it's safe to say
Time to open fire
I quite like John Denver's music. He also had the same hobby as my cousin and flew private aircraft.
While we're on the topic I also like Brian Wilson's stuff, especially when he changed to more experimental stuff later on. Pet Sounds is a classic.

When rally turned to riot up at Kent State University
They said the students scared the Guard
Though the troops were battle dressed
Four martyrs earned a new degree
The Bachelor of Bullets
I know we're all fed up with useless wars and racial strife
But next time there's a riot, well, you best stay out of sight
Well there's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Well there's a riot going on
Student demonstration time

That little lot read like the stuff we see and hear from the writers of pollie speak.MountainPro said:
Bob Hawk (Prime Minister back a few years ) was a grand Champion of that, he could speak for an hour, while answering a question and not say anything very constructive. At the end of the reply, one was inclined to scratch ones head and ask what what was the question, and what did he jus say in reply.
They all try to outdo each other, feather in the cap etc.
It goes on and on and on..........

You can't get any more senior management in Australia, that is, (I think) although I, like a lot of others in this country, AT LEAST, ask, are they serious as senior management.
At times the bullsh*t is totally unbelieveable and, one would consider that they (the pollies ) must be living on another planet even..?????
But then I suppose it's the same the world over, non of them could hold down a REAL JOB ANYWAY.
Ellno#1 - Having intimate experwience with senior (mis)management from Australia and the USA, the Americans have pulled out a trump card. The introduction of Sarbanes-Oxely legislation has the turbo on the normally-vaporous wafflings boosted to a new level. The threat that jail may be looming, has those fiends turning cartwheels in wanting the World and avoiding all responsibility for any directives that spew forth. Weird shite, and even less effective than normal.ellno#1 said:By the way.........TO GET BACK ON THREAD.....!
