Morning Stan, Lou and Tim and anybody else I might have missed.

Nope, not at all. They have issues (OH&S) working with live fire now.
They used to teach Hose Wrestling. They took that out of the course too.

Unfortunately, she has been gone for awhile now! At 87, he could still have been looking for her I guess.

Re-mornin. I am reading a book about the Anheuser-Busch empire. Fascinating and like all those types of families, lots of behind the scenes bullshit, influence peddling, womanizing and booze. The last 2 make it a great read.
