Gamers? This is an office of CPA accountants with no time
allowed to have a life. Then, I had to a put a block on Gator
last week, when I noticed that with 4 users it was already
consuming over 12% of web traffic, spying on us at that.

With no sand or gravel available, the crushed coral mixed
in concrete and asphalt makes wet streets like black ice
on this, as well as other tropical islands.

Despite the recent tragedies, life on Guam goes on. When
I passed Club Texas (http://www.clubtexas.com/) on my way
to work this morning at 5:10 AM, one of the girls was already
out front on Marine Drive working 'overtime'. Must be why
they built the new Federal Courthouse right across the street ;-)
