I like this idea, John. As you know in this country there is a tradition
with the Super Bowl and World Series that mayors of the competing
cities often engage in friendly bets that often have symbolic mean of
the areas they come from. Since I am from Kentucky, we might wager
bourbon or something like that. Are there some ways we could
engage in this tradition? Kirk
Did you say "bootie?" Hum....... Now there's a prize. Kirk
