Welcome, bienvenue, Dave....aka sookite. bobad is correct.....this is generally a harmless bunch though the word-play can leave you scratching your head some time. What are the dates Bruce is playing out in your neck of the woods, Dave? I need to make a business trip to the University of Washington in Seattle and I was waiting until I could have some probablity that it wouldn't rain every f*^k#*g day I was there. I think there's a fast hydrafoil boat from Seattle to Victoria, isn't there? I might try and schedule this trip around the time Murdoch is there and hop over to the island from Seattle.
