Sure hope Oleg gets with the program

[Triad773]

Many like Pushkin; I myself like Dostoevsky.

I knew last week from growing up from Cold War generation shooting down American Satellite was nothing but old dog with new tricks. Well perhaps I show my age, as well as skepticism.

Here's hoping it all works out to everyone's satisfaction. The tables have turned after a fashion: before the US had all the money for weapons dev.- now, with Russia's oil and natural gas wealth (as well as China's cash influx from displaced work,) the situation is now reversed.

What brought down the Iron Curtain but lack of current resources? Who really knows what the future holds?

I'd just be happy to have a 4.09 final. Call me a simple man, but it is a means to happiness.
