>>>>>[AAARGH! I'm crawling the walls here. I got the messages about
Sacha. And I have a meeting tomorrow afternoon with Brigadier General Du
Pompous-ass regarding upgrading some of France's mechanized divisions.

Christ! I'm supposed to lick his boots bright enough that he forgets
about the Dragon's wares and gives us the contract, and I'll be thinking
the whole time how much I want to get out there and kill something. Well,
at least it will be interesting. Hmmmm...that gives me an idea. Got to
see if the test range is open tomorrow...maybe I can take the fat frog
for a check-ride in an Athena.]<<<<<

got an itchy trigger finger, and some check rides of her own to do,
tomorrow. We'll see. Hopefully the CorpCourt will loose their bowels on
Ackbar from orbit and get Sacha out of that mess.

Oh and about the B.Gen., two words: be gentle.]<<<<<
