[Tig] Polonium

[Kelly Armstrong]

Couple of off the cuff comments here.

1- On my first trip to LA, my initiation to the westcoast 
world of the homeless was a fine fellow on rollerblades 
nonetheless combing the trashcans.  Fantastic!
We had a dreadlock sporting gentleman here (Chicago) years 
ago a bunch of us kept in fine attire.  Once seen carrying 
an Avenue bag.  Good taste.  Haven't seen him in years. 
 We still however, have "the Walking Dude".  Think you can 
find him on the internet as he has become quite the 
mystery here.

2- As far as Bob's comment on Trichlor, we used it at 
Avenue in Chicago for years.  In a building 22 floors up. 
 We'd ventilate it right back into the ceiling.  Nice. 
 I'm sure I have some fallout from inhaling the stuff for 
years.  Or at least can use it for some kind of an excuse 
for my behavior over the years.  Class action lawsuit, 
huh?  Interesting...
