L.E. believes this place is infamous for its mediocre (yet inexpensive) buffet and that O.J Simpson was arrested when in it a few months ago. Other than that, in L.E.'s opinion, it is extremely unremarkable.

MICROSOFT:

The promised email within 24 hours to assist L.E. repair his absent wife's computer failed to arrive. L.E. emailed Microsoft to remind it of its broken promise and was rewarded, this morning, with an email from a person who promises to help.

That email contained sickenly complex technical instructions which immediately brought knots to L.E.'s stomach and, therefore, L.E. has again asked his expert friend to review the instructions before L.E. implements them and possibly causes further, perhaps unremediable damage.

L.E. shall relate further details of this saga as they become apparent.

L.E.'s WEEKEND IN LAS VEGAS:

L.E. arose this morning and walked outside to determine whether the carrier had provided a copy of L.E.'s weekend F.T. (many times the carrier fails this task to the chagrin of Mr. Fant who is then forced to email London and the local F.T offices to make complaint). Today, however, it was laying on the driveway and was joyfully swooped upon by L.E.

A quick perusal indicates that Citibank is apparently to shed 500 billion Dollars of assets to get its house in order. As L.E. consumed his coffee he pondered that and concluded that he could not really comprehend the magnitude of that amount of Dollars, the number of zeros is daunting.

Next L.E. noticed an advertisement for a boat slip in Monte Carlo for May 22-25. This time period coincides with the running of the world famous (at least the rest of the world excluding us) Monte Carlo Rally.

The particular mooring apparently will accommodate boats (or should ship be more accurate?) up to 30 meters in length (say 100 feet or so). L.E. smirked as he concluded that his 12 foot long sail boat would have plenty of room left over!

This mooring is within 200 yards of "the track" which probably accounts for its cost for the four days of 30,000 Euros, or $46,340.90.

L.E. concludes that this mooring is likely beyond his reach as its cost far exceed his recently received $1,200 family tax rebate and as the mooring fee was going to a foreign country it would not likely stimulate our economy. Perhaps Citibank could use some of its $500 billion to do so?

Our inflation has also caused the cost of an aluminium "walker" to be $80.00 at Walgreen's. How many walkers could Citibank buy with its $500 billion? See: Today's Poll.

L.E. was not invited to the wedding of our current President's daughter (a clear oversight). Even if he had been invited he would have refused as it clashes with L.E.'s wife's "Irish" family reunion.

Tomorrow L.E. must run the gauntlet at our airport where Taxicab Authority goons are rampant and appear to relish overstepping their authority to harass L.E. Fant and other non-limo/taxi drivers attempting to use our county facility. Should no post subsequently appear one may assume L.E. fell foul of these goons.
