     You don't blame George Bush for what a few Republican extremists do. Why
    try to blame God for the mistakes of some Irish zealots?

    Well, lets see ...
    1979 prime interest was 20% - now it's 10.5%! What's so great about 10.5%?
    I remember when it was 4%! You consider this progress?
    In 79 the speed limit was 55 - now it's 65! So what? I remember when it was
    75.
    In 79 Jimmy Carter was president and now George Bush is! Whee - now that's
    progress - progress from one dope to another! -=*) ANN (*=-

    e:  "In 79 Jimmy Carter was president and now George Bush"

    I'd rather have Bush.  Carter was probably one of the most unqualified
    presidents we have ever had.

      The one great service Jimmy Carter performed for all the politicians that
    will ever follow him was to set a standard by which even a George Bush could
    appear heroic.

    Paul - Ralph and I had the same problem. Cliff told me as far as he knew,
    Apollo didn't go down - that others had logged in without trouble. Our phone
    service in this area needs 'servicing'! Ha. Later in the afternoon, I tried
    again and got on without a hitch. -=*) ANN (*=-

    From October of 1984.....

    Saturday night, Rich Fohl went to one of his CB rival's house to dissconnect
    his CB antenna so he could not use the CB.  The man caught Rich doing this
    and shot him.

         Hard to believe it was five years ago.... Rich, for those "new" to
    Apollo, was a $tatus user here in addition to using many other BBSs.  He was
    infamous for his "bombs", which my last was a bad imitation of..... After
    five years, details of the incident are hard to remember.  If not for Rod's
    book of Apollo messages from that time, I would remember very little of the
    specific circumstances involving Rich's passing.
         I find myself asking things like -- Did he wear glasses?  What did his
    voice sound like?  What would be a typical Rich wisecrack?  I remember the
    beard and the gun.  Will I remember that next year?
         Just some comments about a former BBS'er I had the privilege of meeting
    at GTs a dozen or so times.... Whose messages I enjoyed.  RIP, Rich.

    Outside of the fact that the Dow dropped 190 points yesterday, Mecham hasn't
    given up breathing yet, and Bush can't make up his head as to what side of
    the fence he's on, there's nothing wrong with the good old USA.
     After all, Dallas is on for another season (isn't it?) and Hulk Hogan is
    still the champ! What else is there?

    with an even higher score...  Sniff (tm)  That is why she is an Instructor
