Heckled? Did you heckle back?

I think a 4th of July Moot sounds peachy! I was thinking of getting away from these slag heaps at that time.

Want me to get FF first and take it to ya'll or vice versa? (Maybe me, since you're the go between between us and MyBackYard unless she wants him first.)

I just checked the Frodo page. Ecurb and suzyq have him late June in Boston. Perhaps we're after them. What do you think?

Do ya'll know when you will be finished with Frodo in New England? We don't want to snag him before he's been well toured by ya'll.

North to south or south to north (we're in the middle) makes sense to me!

OK, time for a little story... the job I'm working is in downtown Austin, on 6th street. The walk from my job to the lot I park in takes me past Austin's downtown Post Office branch. Of course, today it's packed with people trying to send off their taxes. So, of course, about 20 or so members of the Libertarian Party were on the streetcorner waving signs protesting taxes and drug laws.

Stupidly, I guess, I chose to walk past them rather than cross to the other side of the street. One of them sticks out a flyer at me and says, "Here you go!" I kept walking and said "No, thank you." As I walked away he started shouting, "Do you like paying taxes? Do you like living in a police state?" which is what made me laugh.

You see, I agree with a lot of the Libertarian Party's platform, but I disagree with enough of it that I'm not a member of the party. And that's what made me laugh... here I am, ready to agree with them, but their rude behavior is more likely to drive me away than convince me to join them!

Oh well, it was good for a laugh anyway.
