IJMC - Government Money

Mm...I could really go for a nice juice federal grant right now to do some
research. Nothing in particular, just "research". I just want someone to
pay my bills for a while while I do nothing much in particular. Likely?
Nahh, but nice to think about once in a while. Especially just before bed
so I can have pleasant dreams of intense laziness. Lying around pools
reading books and sipping pina coladas...falling back on the thick grass
to watch the stars at night...speaking of night, g'night!            -dave




You know what the sad part is??? Most of these bits of wisdom were
probably discovered thru studies funded by GOVERNMENT GRANTS....."Our Tax
Money At Work"... But let's give credit to the folks that did the
studies, their diligence and hard work, I mean can you imagine sitting
for hours and hours trying to fold a piece of paper 8 times???? Gotta
love it....Pete
