Doesn't this guy know which blog he's writing for?" So, you're extrmely welcome to say welcome. And, I'll say a big,"Thank you!" to you and everbody, for being so kind. And, "Welcome" right back at ya' Fran.<br /><br />I'll have to check out Discworld. I wonder, Rob, if you ever read Dean Koontz's short story "Bruno" about a detective bear from an alternate timeline. Really funny.<br /><br />R.T.--I think you're right, buddy. And, yeah, being on the pointed end of the stick means never having to wonder where it went--cause you're mounted on it. Saves a lot of search time.<br /><br />As for Africa, Elizabeth (Liz?), I once walked around on the tarmac of a Côte d'Ivoire airfield while helping a fellow SF engineer offload his team's equipment, while my team was on our way to Ghana. I've also been to--- (Uh, oh. The FBI is here. They've learned that I was going to answer Liz more fully and I have to go answer a few questions now. But, don't worry if you don't hear from me again. I met my wife when we both worked for MI, so she knows which safe to look for my head in, if they decide to cut it off.)Dixon Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220791609338404147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-53645250150018038142011-09-23T12:35:02.985-04:002011-09-23T12:35:02.985-04:00♫♪ cosies on Mondays… hard-boiled crime guys on Fr...♫♪ cosies on Mondays… hard-boiled crime guys on Fridays… criminally eccentric on Sundays… ♬♩Velmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922496600366632604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-61383709638787752332011-09-23T11:29:34.862-04:002011-09-23T11:29:34.862-04:00"Wow" was my reaction too, although neit..."Wow" was my reaction too, although neither graphic violence nor war is my bag.
