Hey Charles,
Nope, all signs seem to point West for me. Hey, I know you're crazy about Esther, but you are crazy about those dogs too! Well, this is the pot calling the kettle black because I'm going into debt so my dog can have hernia surgery. ;) Seriously, although he's old, he's totally healthy otherwise.
