Sarge-

I hear what you're saying about attitudes. I stopped at a gas station like that in your neck of the woods when I was driving back from Tulsa a few months ago. It was on 71 somewhere between Carthage and Nevada, I think. Someone had a van set up outside selling rebel flags and all kinds of other stuff. There were two boys helping the guy sell the flags. Strangest thing I ever saw, they were trying to see if they could kick each other in the crotch. One of them finally succeeded. That pretty much put an end to that game.

I wish you luck on your job search and your plane search. If I were in the same shoes, I'd go for the job first.
