[Rhodes22-list] This day in history Ivestment discussion

[Tootle]

Brad,

Fear not for Rummy, he recently 'invested in' a palacial, waterfront estate. 
Really an orchard, and small farm with a boat dock.  His talk about foreign
investments must be compared with this...  I would suggest this will not
just fall out the sky.  It even includes his own private 'workshop', on a
hill overlooking the place, imagine, "King of the Hill".
