highdrifter Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Dang network is down... Blasted Citrix! Before I go on an extended fishing related lunch break, I thought I'd share some words of wisdom.. Plus I'm bored silly.. Some entertainment would be groovy! One of my favourite quotes is actually from one of my favourite authors. "Dreams do come true. Withought that possibility, nature would not encite us to have them." John Updike cheers! HD
