Welcome back, **Tuckerfan**. I’m glad you’ve got a better-paying job, even if you aren’t the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. My mother (who hasn’t worked in 45 years) keeps telling me that Rutherford County has more jobs than any other county and why haven’t I found something better? My 20 year old Caddilac has done something with 2 of the 8 valves (I think - I have almost no car knowledge) so I’m back to driving my truck. The caddy is still drivable, but it’s running really rough and getting only about 16 MPG.

I’m glad you’re home.

Say, **Anne** , I seem to have misplaced your email addy, if you’d be so kind to drop me a note. . . .
