<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I am a big fan of Joe Campbell.
We sort of swing the same way in politics and opinions. He's
also a darn nice guy. Sometimes I want him to calm down a bit,
but sometimes he probably wants me to just shut up. OK.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I have not been a big fan of Gary
Crabtree, but I have never met him in person, so all I had to
go on were his postings on V2020. I seldo (well, almost never)
agree with a darn thing he has to say. I had no idea if he was
a nice guy or a total asshat, but I knew he was not on my
page, and probably was in anentirely different book. OK.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">About 4:15 today, I foolishly
locked my keys in my car. The spare key was at home. My
partner was not. What to do? Call the Locksmith! As I was
downtown, I went to Gary's Lockshop--fortunately, he was
there. He drove me back to my car, quickly and efficiently got
it open, I retrieved my keys from the front seat where they
had fallen from my very shallow front pocket just as I slammed
the (locked) door, he drove me back to the Lockshop so I could
pay him the (reasonable) $40 with the credit card I had
cleverly left in my handbag in the locked car. I was thanking
him all the way, as I had things to do, and could still do
them!</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">When Gary saw the card, my name
registered with him. He made a comment about me posting
negatively about him on the V---I said something about not
remembering saying anything about him personally (though,
Goddess knows I probably have!). He made me a spare key and
gave me a magnet for it (no extra charge) and took me back to
my car.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">We shook hands, said we were glad
to meet one another in person, and both got on with our day.
OK.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Just a reminder to me, and I hope
to everyone out there. We can disagree, we can be nasty to one
another, we can hold radically different opinions. At the end
of the day, Gary got me into my car, and I owe him some
organic veggies (at a reasonable price!). We are still a
community, win lose or draw. Maybe we can stop hacking at each
other on a personal level once in a while? Criticism,
contention, refutation, debate----all fine. Let's just try to
keep the personal insults to a minimum. Just because we
disagree doesn't mean either one of us is evil.....<br>
