@SSmith1226 Ah, yes........ eventually falling asleep and dreaming about taking a flamethrower to all those noisy crickets to stop their incessant racket!

The trial of Lynn Fogarty began last Monday. Jury selection took the better part of three days, due to a special request granted to the defense attorney by the Judge. The jury did not hear the case, as the defendant, as a result of a plea bargain, pleaded guilty to the crime of Voluntary Manslaughter rather than be tried for First Degree Murder. Her sentencing is scheduled for April 3 of this year. The possibilities/options range from 1 - 10 years in prison.

... Then there's the old one about the man who orders a bowl of soup in a restaurant:

Diner - "Waiter, would you please come over here?"

Waiter - "Yes, sir? How may I help you?"

Diner - "Taste the soup."

Waiter - "Is there something wrong with the soup?"

Diner - "Taste the soup."

Waiter - "Is the soup not hot enough?"

Diner - "Taste the soup."

Waiter - "Is the flavor not to your liking?"

Diner - "Taste the soup."

Waiter - "All right, if you insist, I'll taste the soup. Where's the spoon?"

Diner - "My point exactly!"

@ROWUK Thank you, ROWUK. I still don't see pricing for the featured new products, though.

Could turn out to be great; time will tell. I'm not a fan of secretive pricing, however. Is this one of those "If you have to ask, you can't afford it." deals?

Chicago - Crisp, fresh, edgy, exciting.
Leonid & Friends - Packaged, mellow, predictable.

Chicago gets my vote. Leonid & Friends - close, but no cigar, as the saying goes. Wait... doesn't Arturo...? Never mind; Chicago gets my vote.

@ButchA Methinks you're not a stranger to electric guitar. World class licks there, my friend!

Gloves don’t fit!...

Just a thought though...
I wonder if they sound as good out front as they do from 8” behind the bell...
...There's a way for you to resolve this....

@SSmith1226 WOW. What a story! Thanks for the link!

Three versions of a fair deal:

1. Both parties feel they got screwed.
2. Both parties feel it was a fair deal.
3. Both parties feel they screwed the other guy.
