        Any day that begins with Christopher is likely to end with tequila, bail or both. :-D

        For some odd reason, the tribe I work for doesn't celebrate Columbus Day...:confused: There is a poster that's popular around these parts, depicting an assemblage of tribal chiefs carrying weapons, and sporting the caption: Homeland Security - Fighting Terrorism Since 1492.[^] I agree with the tribes...

          Go figure, right? Of course, given that the book I just finished was titled Unite the Tribes, I'd say that's a pretty compelling example of what happens when you don't. Where's Genghis Khan when you need him? :-D

                Sounds plausible. Why would Columbus be any different to the others?
