All joking aside, a comment on your Sammy Davis look-alike. One thing that I have marveled at in my travels, particularly in Asia, is the dozen or so times I have encountered people from Korea, China, Japan, the Phil, whereever, who were the spittin-image of some American acquaintance or friend of mine, but were an entirely different race, obviously. Really has given me pause and makes me reflect on the human physiological condition and wonder if the Big Guy is havin fun with us or what.

Along those same lines, we have a huge Flea Market in the local area called Sunrise Flea Market, in Sunrise FL, obviously, and I get over there probably once a quarter or so. They sell and barter everything under the sun and some good buys can be had for a careful shopper. There’s one particular stall that sells deeply discounted watches, and some are so cheap it makes you wonder where they are coming from - these are not knock-offs either. The stall is run by a nice woman from Iran who enjoys me stopping by because she says I look exactly like a good friend of her’s back in Iran and when she sees me me it’s almost like seeing him again. I always offer her my apologies and ask her to pass on my condolences, if ever, and the payoff is that she gives me a ‘preferred’ price on any watch I might find I can’t live without.

Anyway, still blows my mind.

So, John, when are you gonna do the comments on they Korean work ethic???? If it’s gonna take too long you might consider doing it in an email or a word document to yourself, then cut and paste it to the blog when you’re done. Not tryin to tell you how to run your business, but sometimes works for me.

And congrats on a great season - you have a great hobby going there and I wish you the best season ever, one coming.

Regards,
Dennis
