>>I may have to battle Alan Griver and others on the VFP team for a trip like this.
Last time YAG came to New Zealand, he ended up in a certain eccentric restaurant wearing a very large, floppy lady's hat. I believe I still have a photo somewhere.
Strange, but True.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
