    around here that'd just be considered good entertainment. and of course it would have to include bar b que and beer and freeloaders. i mean witnesses. we'd make an event of it and $$$ would change hands. course since i'm not about to do it and its hunting season i guess i'm gonna have to go get my own meds resupply. but its sunday you say and those kind of stores are closed. yea right. and you can keep ur plan and ur dr. if you want. speaking of which, i need a treatment right now. like the song says, its gotta be 8AM somewhere, right?
