Heh. At least they're not armed over there. I had truck drivers working for
me in 1971 who carried guns and took target practice at squirrels and
rabbits as they drove down the road.

West Virginia is a strange place.

Reminds me of the first computer system install I was ever involved
with Paul. It was installed to calculate the wages of London dockers
- a very complicated process. They lined up at about 11:30am to
collect their pay at noon on Friday - there were quite a few times
when we were very happy that the accounting offices were in a former
bonded warehouse with _really_ thick doors!
