9:36 am

hokie carla

I think I am calling it with 15 left and heading to the list.

9:39 am

hurshy

that doesn't seem terribly likely, swmbo

11:45 am

hurshy

unless by "soon" you mean "sometime in the next two years"

11:46 am

clg47

The border ban is keeping Canadians safe - so be it! I'll just stay on my island in Puget Sound until we can meet again.

11:48 am

swmbo

You stay safe too!!!

11:48 am

swmbo

Hurshy, I fear you are right.
