Re: MtMan-List: direction?

Lanney Rue,
  I've seen you many a time when you couldn't tell which way was up. Yeah
buddy ! ! One thing fer sure, what you're looking fer is always on the
other bank or in the bottom of the haversack or packbasket. It is just
Murphy's Law. Anything that can go wrong will, and usually does.
Bye Ya'll
Pendleton
