Good on you Rod. I must say I'd rather drive trains than do monthly,
quarterly and annual reports, not to mention tax returns but my wife expects
me home at night so I haven't got much choice. BTW just because you are a
train driver don't think you are immune from the chop these days. I'm afraid
we are all in the same boat on that one.
