OK, Scott more falls in extracted

Never-the-less, Mario, the word is

I was disappointed the Globe didn't
mention the agressive program in Italy
that has been ongoing for a decade or
more. They cannot afford petrol products
and depend on limited, but nice, clean
hydroelectric power from the mountains.
Will be over there for the month of
November. 
I don't think of Scott Milligan as
'slave labor' but a devoted ATM. I am
sure his hands-on experience is very
valuable in creating designs that work.
