Well, it has started, the new 'WAR' on terrorism and if it is like the 'WAR' on drugs we will not get very far. I understand there must be some retribution for what they did. But why does our government have to be so arrogant in its dealings with other people? We drop food packets but fail to put on them what it is and how to use it in their own language! The food we dropped is NOT part of their diet. They wanted to know why we didn't drop Beans and Rice which IS part of their diet. Sen. Sam Brownback, a Republican, has it all figured out - give then lots and lots of money to raise their economy so we can trade with them. Give them Kansas wheat (not Iowa corn or Nebraska wheat only Kansas wheat will do) and all our religious leaders sign a declaration of how much we LOVE all the Muslims of the world. Hey! That's all there is to it. I am sorry but that's all our government does is GIVE away OUR money.
At the October meeting we had a sparse turnout (6). One of the members wondered where our President and VP were? I know we have fewer members but if you can't show up please have the courtesy to call someone so we can pass it along. We are now an incorporated club. John Strenge had the certificate at the meeting. Of course there were no renewals or new members.
I still have 64s and 128s with 1541 and 1571 drives. I also have monitors and printers just sitting in my basement doing nothing. For a small price they can be in your home doing something! Call or see me at the next meeting. My phone # is 816-761-4777 and I am home most days after 4 PM.
