I sent the article to the list this morning hoping for some discussion, but
thought I'd sent that last email only to James. It's of no import really but
since James has been the only person in memory to post about working a horse
his opinion was the one I most valued. The list seemed otherwise engaged.
This response has been a pleasant surprise.

Because I thought that was offlist, and because we have had a few dialogues
before, I looked at what I wrote there as merely an introduction to the
subject of this house. The homeplace is right around the corner from my
present home. I'm not on a romantic quest nor are we rushing into this
blindly. Nevertheless, I'm willing to listen to most any quid pro quos from
the list as long as they don't involve Obama or McCain or Clinton or my
guns.

Thanks,
Warren
