I was watching a movie this evening called Evelyn and it got me thinking about this site and why it feels like such a good place to hang out. It appears that the Irish are quite different than N. Americans in that they, for the most part, all seem to know how to enjoy life better with friendsand really have a good old fashioned grasp on family and good virtue and most have a wonderful sense of humor and can easily share in good times and also care enough to lend support in bad times. I have seenthe Irish grace and dignitymodeled first hand here when my big mouth opened before my footgot a chance to step on my tongue, yet, my faux pas was always handled gracefully and accurately without causing anyone any harm. I always thought that it was just the great technical info that made this site so appealing, but, it's definately more than that, it's the Irish heart and spirit that makes this site so wondreful.
I just want to thank you Irish folk for allowing me into your part of the world and teaching me some things that I would have never achieved otherwise. If you folks are ever over the big pond near my humble little town, by all means touch bases with me and the first pint will be on me.
Ride safe, Vic
