Don't get your hope up on the last one. Here in Florida we have a tourist season and we can't shoot them either.

[Bill in Oregon]

Pure gold, Blaine! Gracias, amigo.

Just like migratory birds, we have a tourist season here too, just the opposite time of year from yours!

They don't let us shoot them, either.

"Roosevelt proved you can be president for life.
Truman proved anybody could be president.
Eisenhower proved you didn't really need a president. And...
Kennedy proves it's dangerous to have one!"
