He was in Nebraska before Wyo.
In fact he went to the same school that my wife attended.
They were both in the third grade.

Hahahahaha. Amen.

I'm back =] Why is no one up at 545 in the morning? Hmm.
This new design thing is turning out a bit more of a hassle than we expected. The original number of pages was quoted as "just around 300". It turned out to be 421.
We're having to make some sacrifices because of that. Neither CFP Admin or myself have the time to convert 421 HTML pages to PHP. It'll still look and function nicely though!

Sorry to rant, but I didn't want to start a new topic for just that.
About Cheney... I think it was the lawyers fault (and no, I'm not some huge Cheney fan). From what I understand, he (a) didn't announce his return to the hunting group after splitting off, and (b) got in front of the VP.
Oh well.
PS - Spence, from the looks of your CFP Bucks bank account, I think you're the Microsoft of the group.
You got the Cheney incident right, Matt. Based on what has been said about how the incident unfolded, the lawyer guy violated a cardinal rule of quail hunting.
An analogy would be like someone speeding through a red light while your are proceeding through the green light.
Cheney is responsible because as he said, he "pulled the trigger", but the lawyer is at fault. You never approach a hunting group the way he did and you always announce your presence and location and walk up from behind the group. That's what everybody in the group expects everyone in the group to do. I'm sure both these guys will tell you that.
Of course we've already been told that by the lady who runs the ranch and witnessed the incident, but since the press has a different agenda and their coverage of the story has been typical. They will have little trouble convincing the one's who let others do their thinking for them or the one's who want to believe something else.

It is always the case that the press gets it wrong. It is just to what extent. They all go in with an agenda, although, sometimes I believe they have done it so long that they don't even know it.
I have a friend who shot another friend while rabbit hunting. The rabbit ran between them and the guy got caught up in the shot instead of knowing his surroundings. He wasn't hurt badly, but he still has some shot in his hip and butt. It was funny after we found out he wasn't hurt, but it was never a huge deal. It was an accident. A stupid accident, but still an accident. Except for the fact that we don't hunt with that guy anymore, we are all still friends.

Cheney is responsible in my view.
Back in the days when I went hunting we alway kept an eye out for those in are group.
We never pulled the trigger if we knew someone was in front of the group.
we alway stop moving forward till the one ahead looking for there game got back in the formation.

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.
The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.
See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
