All this anti-environmentalist ranting has woken up this sleeping dog. I haven't been a member of the Sierra Club or Greenpeace for a long time. It may be time to join again. I'm both pro-biker and pro-environment, but if I were forced to choose one side or the other, I'd choose pro-environment, hands down. TomK

John McCrae's "In Flanders Fields" remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915. In Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. ~~~~~~~ Enjoy your BBQ and time spent with family and friends, but never forget that a price was paid for the freedoms we enjoy today. I am most thankful - Knot.
