Re: [ATM] Congratulations to Ross Sackett

["Scott Ewart" <scotte@frontiernet.net>]

    Hate to disappoint anyone, but every year for the past several 
years, there is more and more grass on the fields.  This year I had to 
dry my scope cover when I got home.  Of course, things can change at 
any time, but if things keep up this way, TSP way lose its dusty 
reputation.
