Wow ...

This actually became a discussion ... it is kinda fascinating how we simplify things, perhaps it relates to background, education, perception or all of the above. But it's nice to know the world is full of diversity.

Russia was TDY. He's based here in metro DC area with O-ring and me. In fact the 3 of us had lunch on Tuesday.
