But Jerry's cool, out there in North Dakota on his own, trying to get ink in

About the only time I ever post here is when I think somebody is getting too
LOUD with there opinions. The devils advocate so too speak.(nah!)
But please keep them comming, info is info!
Really, I'am just pissed I didn't bet the 7000 on the Patriots!!! looked like
a gift ;0 Hindsight-always wins!!!
