Larry, I have often wondered why nature favoured the Highland Scots and the Irish with that natural graciousness which so entrances the rest of the world. Natural selection? I don't know.

Growing up amidst the beauty of the West Highlands of Scotland, one can hardly can hardly fail to assimilate some of that beauty and grace. Likewise for the West Coast of Ireland, I imagine. I think of our mutual friend Cathal, and wonder if there has ever been a more gracious man than he? (Next time you speak to him tell him we want him down here in Florida, OK)

Apologies for this thread creep. I just can't work up any American - bashing emotions at his point in time.
