Ed,
Next time you are coming this way, give me a call and I'll take you around  
in the golf cart and give you a tour.

Brad,

Fear not for Rummy, he recently 'invested in' a  palacial, waterfront estate. 
Really an orchard, and small farm with a boat  dock.  His talk about foreign
investments must be compared with  this...  I would suggest this will not
just fall out the sky.  It  even includes his own private 'workshop', on a
hill overlooking the place,  imagine, "King of the Hill".
