Rally in our "own Valley

[Mark Garber]

Oh, sorry Ron, that was really meant in a sarcastic way, forgot to put the on
it, Just frustrated we can't post little emoticons to help convey the slant of
wording. The falicy of not being about to hear voice flucation or see facial
expression is the letters weekness.

ps, i can't even remember but might have put one of yahoo's smileys(think I
did). If I did even it got dropped.

It wouldn't serve any usefull purpose to alienate ourselves from

simply make Management understand that: It's not worth it and they
need to re-think their pricing and where the value is.

destinations. Some people like to hang with peers of a like net
worth level. Or something. Nothing wrong with bein' trailer trash.
