Boy, do you have a screwed up view of reality. I can see why we call you
'Brakes'. What, you want perfection? :^)

Don't you know that the real purpose and function of any manager is to 'test
the mettle' of his subordinates by placing as many obstacles in their way in
an effort to determine who he can count on 'when the arrows start flying' -
read "when I need someone to save my neck and be the scapegoat when this is
all over"?

Lest you laugh, this is a true and accurate belief of managers I have met in
my career... (no smiley either)

Now let's trash all this sentimental idealism and hit the road! Dive! Dive!
into that mavellous descending right hand banked turn - without using that
brake light :^) You'll get it right! Just push that inside handgrip down
towards the pavement and feel the suspension settle in and then lift off on
exit! Ahhh! Real nice!

BTW, it just occured to me... how do you know anything about my lines? You
never stick around long enough to see them. :^) :^)

P.S.  Am I posting too much lately?
Is cabin fever setting in?
Do I need to take another vacation?
YES! YES! YES! Somebody get me outta here and onto the road!
How about a ride to Florida???
