Howdy,

Just wanted you each and all to know, sometimes I tend to get kind of heavy. It's just my nature, I guess.

Sometimes way to serious.

The fun that this topic has generated has genuinely brought me smiles.

So, in the spirit of things, I figure Gord could have easily been a "hobo" ala Woodie Guthrie. Helping a soul wherever help might be needed.

"Hey, buddy, gimme and ax and I'll tackle that wood pile w/ ya." "Change Oil? Well, I'm really not up on it but I'll give it a go." "Lemme give ya a push to the gas station." "I'll help ya catch those chickens."

"Go to sleep, you weary hobo. Let those clouds go drifing by. Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'. That's a Hobo's Lullaby."

And then would come the "must."
