Those that complain loudly we’re in the former group. And most of them are now coming around.

I won’t try and compare your solution to ours. I will say that we don’t have the UNA option you do so that wasn’t on the table.

A long bet was made. In the end thanks to continued government cheese (factored in to our strategy) we made a good deal on this.

Yes, luck was involved but I’d rather be lucky than good. In this case, we were both IMHO.

Yall take care!

Thanks Lee. To me, it seemed pretty reasonable to avert furloughs. Interesting how on these boards there can only be one solution. You guys had a lot of moving parts' but the detractors only want to paint one pic as do the supporters. Always good to get more info of a reasonable nature. Cheers' Buck
