Okay... First things first. Control Volume: Approximately one quarter of a full flat ended shovel of dirt thrown in the direction of someone's feet with some dirt landing on said someone's boot. The boot is a work boot (sans steel toe, synthetic leather possibly, water resistant at least) and the dirt is less than a class C 60 silty soil with some loams and clays (Ie, it mostly clumps but breaks in your hand if pressure is applied). So, I did not get shoved or a 'talking to' but the someone did say that the action of dirtying a boot is a "fighting action."

Second thing. I will be in the ATL for some as of yet undetermined length of time after the fourth or fifth of July. I will be arriving with Martin. I expect a parade with school closings to precede my arrival but would be happy with just a simple get together / shin-dig.

I will be available in Atlanta definatly to laugh at Martin as he gets his new knee (again).

By the by, when is Jeff Lindsy getting hitched?

I am currently playing Knights of the Old Republic off and on. Its an involved first person d20 type game played on (in my case) the X-Box. The controller is somehow not as offensive as when it was first released.

Hope all is well with you.
