--30-- (Sept. 29)

It's been a hectic day due to blog problems and the late-morning run into Spokane. So, I didn't have my ordinary ebb and flow when it comes to the daily offerings of No Holds Barred. Sorry. Again, I'd like to remind you that I'll always warn you when I'm not going to be here. If the usual features aren't in place by the usual times -- or within an hour of them -- you can bet that the movable type is acting up. Or I just won a million dollars in the lottery and instantly retired. There's not much chance of the latter happening because I've never purchased a lottery ticket. Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow morning, bright and early. Well, at least early -- DFO
