This post may or may not contain the following excerpt (or is it a summary?):

10/10/01 what else is new?

This post may or may not contain the following excerpt (or is it a summary?):

Third day on the lines, no negotiations in sight. Morale was still good today, though there were fewer people in the probably 20-mph winds and sub-60 temps. Tonight, I am resting.
