Frank, 

Yes we still have our home in Gilbert... and will have for some time.  I anticipate this re-location will take 4-5 years to become cast in stone.  As you might well imagine there are many things to consider and the USA (Phoenix/Gilbert) has many pluses.  But then so does Costa Rica.  If I didn't have a Costarican wife, this wouldn't even be a starter; however, she potentially has a much longer futer than do I,and thus the decision.

We are currently looking for propertry in the Cobano area of Costa RIca.  Mostly because that is where Cindy's only brother lives and she wiashes to be with family when I pass on.  That's important because she is 30 years younger than me.

It's an amazing place down here... and once we get settled... We would be delighted to show you the non-tourist side of CR.

MyBest, Brad

Jim Coats

HAPPY BIRTHDAY tomorrow Randy!

You were one of the MOST interesting characters I knew at Monte Vista....and you have retained that title to this day.  I'm glad we were able to meet at the reunion.

Take care buddy!

Bill RIHS

I am late to say; happy birthday to Brad and Randy🎉🎂👍🇺🇸.

Frank Wiley

Happy Birthday Randy!  Brad, Thanks on your residential updates!

Brad, I was in Costa Rica in the mid 1990's and loved it there. Everything was very cheap as it really had not been discovered as yet and I mistakenly failed to invest in land there. My trip there was mostly on the western side of Costa Rica, the Pacific coast, which was quite remote at that time. In 2005 I visited again but on the east side. I'd love to learn more from you about living in Costa Rica. My wife and I do plan to visit in the next year, flying into Liberia.

Happy  Birthday Randy 🎂 🎉 🎁 🎉

Randy Edwards

Many thanks to you all for the Birthday greetings - glad to still be here!

Jim,

I get down to Phx/Cave Creek at times. Love to have a cup of coffee or lunch. Have been fortunate enough to catch up with Dave Damron once in a while. Maybe meet for lunch, might even convince Dave to join us.

Again, thank you all! 78, who would have guessed?

Bill Randall

   Happy birthdays you Aug-Boys from the 114F in the shade; Phoenixian. Heading to a cool tap room for a foamy treat.

  Just purchased from Aridus Wine (Benson, AZ) their tasting room in Scottsdale a case (12bottles) of their overstock for today's temperature [114F]..

I'm reading, "Going Further" it's a book about the life of Clarence Thomas written by Ted Cruz who worked for him at the Supreme Court.  I've always had respect for Justice Thomas but this is bringing my respect to a much higher level.  Every American should read it no matter your political affiliation and I think it should be required reading for every high school student (and it wouldn't hurt for the Teachers also to read it.) Thanks! 

Michael Kelly

Frank W.  I believe that FOX NEWS Laura Ingraham also was a Clerk for Judge Thomas. She has mentioned it several times during her shows. I know that when he was nominated to the Supreme Court the Libs/Progressives fought like crazy to keep him off the Bench. That was the Anita Hill controversy and he defended himself.

Jim Coats

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GLEN MYRICK!!!

Can I tell the story about when you drove up to a party at Larry Lindsey or Bill Gibney's house in a '59 Chevy Impala...or was it a Bel Air?  We were all still at Monte Vista (do the math) and you were a pretty wild child.  I always liked that about you.  Whoops.  Guess I told the story....but the statute of limitations has run out.

Have a great day and I hope you're still up in the woods.  It's too damn hot here!

Take care brother.

Frank Wiley

Happy Birthday Glenn!!  The Big 80!

Almost half a million people filed a petition for Mandami to not attend the 9/11 remembrance at the Trade Tower site.  He ignored their wishes.  I saw a shot of Mandami and AOC joking and laughing at the ceremony.  Scumbag sleazy A-Holes!!

Jim Coats

AOC is rumored to be eyeing a 2028 bid for Pres.  I don't think it's true, but can you imagine her dealing with Putin or Xi in person?  Just imagine.

Mandami is a true enemy of the State.  How can New Yorkers vote for someone like this?  I like the NYPD Commissioner, but she's a lonely high ranking voice in the wind.

Michael Kelly

I dont believe that Frank Sinatra would like the new meaning that Mandami and TBAOC would lend to "New York" making Fun of the 9/11 Ceremony is a real insult. They need to  be Gone.

Frank Wiley

I heard a good Theory about this new AI scare by someone involved in a Startup in the AI industry.  He thinks the AI power brokers (the Musks, Altman, Etc.) endorsements of "MORE" regulations is very suspicious.  His theory is that if a bunch of restrictions are put into place, the Big Boys willing be able to afford them thus blocking out the startups.  As Sergeant Schultz said, "Verly   In-ter-es-ting!".  P.S.  Open AI just hired Senator Chuck Schumers Daughter!!

Jim Coats

Frank.  I agree 100% with the Big AI theory you just mentioned.  Look at how the big companies have held off the lawsuits on everything already.  They have the money.  Follow The Money!!

Michael Kelly

AI is going to be the way that clever people circumvent Copyright and Patent Laws in order to appropriate original Ideas and creative products from originators. My personal opinion is that if not structured in the latittudes of its application, it wull over a period of years upend itself. It already has done so oi the Entertainment Industry. There is already a Clever soul who has said that he has won various Jackpots by using AI to predict Winnimg Combinations of Numbers. Of course, he has already turned it into a Course which he will sell you for the real money making final steps in the process of using  AI for this purpose.

Happy Birthday Flyboys (and Girls).  Today is the Birthday of the Air Force.
