I am not so sure about Houseboater enjoying a drink on his boat. Didn't I read that the level of Lake Powell was way down?

Boy, that is a name from the past. There have been some real characters over the years who were believers at first, doubters second and lastly bashers, lol.

I think it was Voltaire who opined that when it came to money, all men were of the same religion. It is awfully hard to remain neutral or kind-hearted toward a company when it is synonymous with personal money that has either been lost or stagnant for years.

However, it is also a fascinating study in human nature to see two people who are both invested in the same stock and both way down on their investment and yet one sees positive developments in statements and the other sees decayed fecal matter, lol.

No. Houseboater lost his boat a long time ago. He left the lake when the water level went down. I think he dropped his computer in the water when he left. At least, that's what the shore people told me. He didn't have anything going for him so figured he would go out and find a real job. Remember that fellow who sold you those flowers at the curb a little while back? That was HB.

Peace,
