I was with Australian Army guys, maybe it’s a military way of expressing he’s a cheap s.o.b. Where were you in Australia. I spent a week of RR in Perth in 1966, vacation from Vietnam.Bill -

Hi,
I know where Borrego Springs is, about 85 miles from Sun City. Good place to spend the winter.

Dave,I spent 8 years in Asia, then the rest of my time in CA, used to have a log cabin up in the mountains outside of San Diego, loved it up there, not as green as PA, but nice, the little town had less than 200 people.

Guess we’re pretty close in size, if you throw in the Rural Route Mail Deliveries also. Small town livin’,
