Sure reads different when you actually know the folks discussed, and have weathered the same storms and squalls here for decades,....that observation from a somewhat confident "newcomer". I can see a LOT of John Ladd's East boundary from where I sit typing,...and for whatever reason have had more experience playing midwife than that of coroner / undertaker. Have smiled my way through more than a few baby deliveries out and around this always amazing and amusing zone.
I've actually lost a couple of shirts,...guess they got "swaddled?".

GOOD barometer,...during any contemporary political round robin, when the opportunity presents itself, quietly ask how those participating feel about the loss of Rob Krentz.
BAD news,...the blank looks that you mostly get back.

It's sadly drifting that way as regards Brian Terry, too.

Ben, thanks for putting this up.
