Joe,

JM>>   Did he ask for his fee first?? 

JM>  I think he might have been gathering some sort of research for a case
JM>history.  

  That's like at a square dance festival several years ago. One of the
national callers did this "cute figure of calls". One of the local
callers, broke out a small book of spiral bound note paper, and began
writing down what this caller just called. Those dancers nearby said
"You're stealing his material"...and he replied "No, I'm gathering
research". <G>

JM>>   Thank you for your service. 

JM>  Thanks, but I didn't do that much, being stateside.

  At least you're a veteran. 

JM>  Oh wait, there was that time my ship went to New Orleans when VC
JM>gunboats were reported on the Mississippi.  It also just happened to be
JM>during Mardi Gras.  Strange how that happened.  We spent several days
JM>there and never saw anything and left.

  I wouldn't even think of going down there...especially during Mardi
Gras.

JM>  The last time I was on a commercial plane was around 1971, again at
JM>gummint expense.  (Thank you again tax payers).

  And, that was before all the hijackings, etc. started.

JM>   I guess when I got the newer one I just stuck in my wallet and didn't
JM>take out the old ones.  But keeping all three to be on the safe side.  I
JM>don't want to left on the curb for having the wrong card.  

  When I went to various clinics this past year, they asked me if I had
gotten the NEW Medicare Card. I did, and they updated the records
accordingly.
