    Well said.... or not said ! LOL

    BTW Mariposa Belle seems to still be missing in action....

    I am a little worried about our historical referencing 3M partner and connoisseur of fine liquers....

    You don't suppose that the Masons at MLS&E may have got to him ?

    On this Canada Day, I propose that we all start a national search to find the sunken Mariposa Belle...

    Cheers.
