Effective immediately long time moderator Cajun Man is placed on retirement status. He worked for us for many years and we are grateful for his service. I hope you all wish him well in retirement. We should probably be setting up an Old Mods Home … it’s sort of like a nervous hospital where people get over things. 🙂 ---
