PJ speaks his mind.

My mind?  I lost that years ago.

ST's right though.  The wilderness is not for the thin-skinned.  Say what you mean, mean what you say and sometimes you just gotta make your own way.  I rarely take anything personally around here (unless someone makes it personal) and my tone can be . . . lets say a little less than diplomatic (it's a gift).  Giving before taking goes a long way though.  I would never ask for anyones secret this or that unless I was willing to give up my own first.  And I've said it before around here; if we ever meet (God forbid) in Quetico, a pull from the jug is yours.   ;)
