Actually, here I was actually making comments tongue in cheek...My
fault for not using emoticons. Your experience is quite impressive,
and I bow to your superior course knowledge.
My experience (thankfully) to Jungle and Desert Environs; My urban
stuff was interesting but not as comprehensive as yours would have
been, and not really my forte.
So please, Don't take what I said to be Comparing "peckers" with
people I don't know... I have had my fill of trying to stick it out
harder and longer than everyone around me. I am just a poor simple
grunt who is now plodding along in the Health Care field helping
others recover from their various conditions.
I don't know if that counts as being a positive contribution to
society, but I do my best to help :-))
And in answer to Greywolf...I am not sure that we would know each
other but anyone who has experienced Tully in all its glory would
sound familiar, don't you agree? I am in NSW and retired. And
following a different path. As for the Education on SAS...no thanks. I
have no need to go there :-))
