Bob , now I know why Mount calls you "Raimio" - I saw that picture of
you in GQ or whatever that bonesmuggler's magazine is, and if you get
killed wearing that gear, it will be no suprise. I guess if Joe Namath
can wear pantyhose in a magazine, you can dress up in that stuff . Now I
know why you "respect" anyone's right to do whatever they want. You are
also right , I have done my share of stupid stuff, but then I did it
because stupid people told me it was ok - THAT IS NO LONGER NECESARY FOR
ANY OF US. 

  Palmer may have done us all a big favor by his example, but then he
went from being a real productive guy to not being one. - G
