    I no longer foresee long, idle hours at "work" when I can read and post the day away.
    How about forseeing idle hours at home when you can read and post the night away?

    (Incidently, given the amount of time I've spent here kvetching about US foreign policy, it may amuse some of you -- and appall others -- to know that I'm about to sign on with the State Department, in the Foreign Service.)
    Rufe, give in to the dark side...give in to the dark side...

    We'll cya soon...when you return to the light...

      Amazing...

      See you, space cowboy...

        Bye Rufus, good luck.

        Here's hoping you get posted to the US Embassy in some sun-drenched and exotic island somewhere.
        If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.

            I've always enjoyed your posts. They are intelligent and often humorous, and rarely insulting to those who hold another viewpoint. I'm sure that you will drop in again at some point, and I look forward to it. Anyway, the people of Feedonia certainly deserve to have their president back in the saddle again. Cheers.

                No, damn you! I've already wasted 5 years of my life here, I'm seeing it through until the end
                Bah! You've only got me beat by a month or two; I'll be the last poster!

                  Congratulations on the new employment, Rufus. It's been a great pleasure to read the posts of someone who also appreciates the American cinema of the 1970s.

                  My best wishes for you in your new employment, and I hope you enjoy your sojourn in your nation's capital. Just think of Gil Scott Heron's paean to the place,and I'm sure it'll bring a wry smile to your lips...

                  And a very happy Christmas/belated hanukkah/winter solstice/saturnalia/sunreturn from the southern hemisphere.

                      Have a good time, and serve your country well


                      What exactly will you be doing? I imagine you won't start off as an ambassador
