Guilty as charged....this List is like a crack addiction.....i can't give it up....i wait to catch one of you slackers (Jack!) providing the wrong advise and even half way around the world I realized I am a slacker too ;-]>
I told AJ "no don't send more then a dozen shirts"........so in less then 2 minutes girls and expats had take every one of them.....in so doing I was all most crushed by the desire by others to get something (anything) FREE........and you thought it was bad in the states....please you can't understand how difficult it is here.
Can't wait to fly back to the sandbox

Asa:
You hit it on the head! Why does Dawg have time to send all these e-mails when he has all those T-Shirts to distribute??? What is up with that?? There are girls in need!!!!!!
(And Ft Stockton Tx is like Bangkok just like Victorville CA is like Tahiti...)
I think Dawg is slacking on us! Without his Pantera, he's lost his focus... ;-) He's drifting aimlessly through the moreass...

You get those Wet T-Shirt photos yet? C'mon Dog where -are- your
priorities? Talking about Pantera stuff, good grief, one would think
you were in a hotel room lounging on a couch eating Cheetos.
