Well said Deva, now if Dave has one with a valid drivers license :/: :D :lol: Messing with ya Dave ;)

If you were to drop those two things or at least discount them to being affordable, even temporarily...there in would be a small business stimulus package all in itself. JMO

A dream employee for certain.....

I used to get Chinese exchange students in my kitchens.. They were already teachers and what not just extending their education. I had a couple of those "teachers" that at 60 years, could work circles around most 20 somethings. Maybe there could be some kind of educational exchange program he...
