I guess everybody has noticed that Dan just is not participating in the E-mail fiesta here any longer. His head has just gotten so big from the fame that this list brought him that he can hardly sit at his keyboard. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the guy, but you'd think that he could struggle to his compooter to drop an e-message now and then. Kat sends her messages and her cool Friday websites, but Dan just sits at his counter at work looking at the warehouse across the parking lot and every once in a while some Korean, or somesuch, will burst in, yelling Chinese, or one of those ching-chang languages, waving some obscure sewing machine part at him. He'll go to the back and find something like the what the Mongolian needs, take some chickens or magic beans for it and there he is alone again. It's not like he ain't got the time. Maybe it has something to do with dealing with foreigners. Steve has to take them all around and keep them busy while Halliburton drains their bank accounts and secretly takes over their countries. Lately, so that they can't get to a phone to find out what's going on at home, he's been bringing them to our VW shows. I wonder if they think that it is very clever how the American government makes it look like it's citizens are happy and wealthy when, as they have seen, the Americans really drive cars that are, in some cases 40 years old! Then they pathetically shine them up all the time and have meetings in parks where they complain about the lack of recognition of their efforts. The ones who are recognized are given small tokens, oftentimes a piece of wood with a toy car glued to it. Some of these people are forced to live and sleep in their 40 year old "campers". Fred McDonald never posts on here because, while he doesn't have foreigners taking up all of his time, he has old people and idiots that he drives all around Opryland in a big bus. I forgot my point...Oh yeah! Dan sucks.
