thats to bad. <sigh>.....with the way my work has expanded im looking for a
more central location. about half of my work is in billings, with the other
half being combined of working in polson, missoula, butte, and even down in
cody/powell/worland wyoming. butte would probably be the most central
location for me to work from, but i really prefer helena to butte. i dont
care to live inside helena, acerage outside helena would be perfect.

ill look for your call tomorrow morning. i should be in town by 10. i dont
know how flexible your schedule is, but i should be able to be at overland
express by 12 anyway if that works for you. as much as we've talked online,
it will be good to put a face with the name.

Re: Dana Corp files for bankruptcy
 

Where to draw the line indeed. I don't see anyone renting their robes
over the demise of companies that once made trolley cars (killed by
affordable automobiles) or diner cars (killed by chain eateries).

Here's a little more depth on what has happened to Dana -- which, by the
way, is still turning a profit in its overseas operations.

Well, I am still bummed out by the recent National Blacksmith Memorial
ceremonies, where the Chariot Makers Guild were the honored guests, with
the Fraternal Order of Mammoth Handlers providing a special treat with
their precision drill team.

Re: Dana Corp files for bankruptcy
 

I like the excuse "Internal accounting woes prompted it late last year to
lower its profits by $44 million for the last four years"

I think another way to say that would be " We intentionally devised and
implemented, with malice, an illegal scheme to falsify the books".
