The news on the economic front is looking especially grim,
particularly for you Yanks. I hope the members of this group manage to
survive the hard times ahead with grace and dignity. I feel sure that,
with the plain old commonsense mechanical (and other) skills you have
acquired from the hobby, we will be better able to mend, make do,
scrounge, recycle as our grandparents did in the 30's.

This is beyond politics, its happened, its a real mess, and hopefully
something better will arise from the present chaos. I wish you all
well, irrespective of the political arguments and insults.

Regards,

Andrew VK3BFA.
