life is too short and too precious to get caught up with what is relevant or not with this board. sometimes a talk about life is important.

and since we have not been deluged with news releases from uc, other topics are needed.

i'm sure we would all like to talk about veins of gold and silver but presently that topic is unavailable. so until jim/gary get something out, present posts are acceptable.

don't like 'em, don't read 'em. but then again one would have to read 'em to decide. tough decisions on a sunday.

and re gary's dad, i'm sure we're all one in wishing gary the best in this tough time. it's tough to possibly say goodbye and thanks
