It was Frank Herbert who wrote in Dune, "If wishes were fishes,
we'd all cast nets..."

Dear Jenny and all the ships at sea, which by the by recently
eliminated CW (international Morse code) from their repertoire.
Yet another treasure gone to that graveyard in the sky.

Jennifer,  (may I call you that?) it is with deep regret that I
must agree with some of your post.  I (gulp) agree that it was
not likely a drug run.  However I must inform that it was an
illegal run of another sort.  Our Gripple runs have switched
from marked Gripple dispensing trucks, to SR149's, which is the
latest in Americanski secret government technology.  The people
at Groom gave us two to sort of, sort out.  Saved our precious
tax payers a good load of cash in test pilot training, salary,
insurance and support.  Saved a whole lot of UFO sightings over
Groom and Area 51, by those curious bastards constantly taunting
our armed Federally paid Gestapo, saved tremendous money of
fuel, as Gripple is used to power these craft.

The down side is the side effects of breathing the fumes created
by the SR 199's.  People are dropping over there, like flies.
Oh the humanity!  But alas, you people did try to colonialize us
some years back.  And we never did get back at you for that,
other than winning the Revolutionary War.

And there are at least three people now serving on Majestic
Thirteen who are super duper patriots and still hold a grudge.
Oh, sorry, there are now 13 members of Majestic.  Gesundt became
a Made Member quite recently. And he shocked everyone in the
Majestic showers.... woof!
