A cowboy, who is visiting Wyoming from Texas, walks into a bar and
orders three mugs of Bud. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a
sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the
bar and orders three more.
The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, 'You know, a mug goes
flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a
time.'
The cowboy replies, 'Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in
Arizona , the other is in Colorado . When we all left our home in Texas,
we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we
drank together. So I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one
for myself.'
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.
The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way.
He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.
One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take
notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second
round, the bartender says, 'I don't want to intrude on your grief, but
I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss.'
The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his
eyes and he laughs.
'Oh, no, everybody's just fine,' he explains, 'It's just
that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking.'
'Hasn't affected my brothers though.'

What did I miss? At first I thought you were looking for Cam...I was going to say, dont encourage him. 
54 miles in holiday traffic. 
That's all I can think about.
Yeah. The polish was actually holding up OK, but my feet were not lookin' so pretty any more!
The morons didnt even read my email and gave me a canned response to something I didnt ask. This just reinforces what I found out at the airport that night...they are clueless. 
I hope you got some badge #'s or employee ID #'s or sumthin'! I would probably print out all of the correspondence & emails to date and march myself over to the P.O. on Tuesday morning and mail 'em a certified letter!! I would probably give them a deadline to resolve it by and let them know that you'll be contacting the BBB if you don't have a resolution by that date. We have been back long enough now for them to get their act together for you!
Hurricanes are no laughing matter but if you could only hear them. It scares newcomers half to death. I have a healthy respect for hurricanes, take precautions, but after a while, it is almost enough to make you want to throw something at the TV. I think the most ridiculous thing is to see them standing out in the storm holding on to something to keep from flying away themselves saying "It is manditory evacuation and everyone has left. What about yourself?

I mean...I'll miss ya, Cam!
