[AJD] late B

[Dean VP]

Ron:

Well, it looks like after reading JR's admission of error I may be buying
the first round. Just can't trust these people from Salix, IA! :-) Then I
have another error to admit to. We will be traveling North on I 29 the 3rd
of July not the 2nd as I previously stated.

Dean,
	Yeah, but is it green with yellow wheels?  And who said I was a
betting 
man?  Sure as heck not me.  What I mentioned was the BEER.  NO BETS! 
I'll buy the first one if I am in town.
