[Boatanchors] [Johnson] [Hammarlund] POPULAR ELECTRONICS MAGAZINES

Thu Apr 23 20:36:41 EDT 2009

KSZ a lawyer, dont make me laugh. Just an old grouch from this area 
living out his days with the tumbleweeds and cactus.

Since this country was founded on civil disobedience I do it in very 
good company and with a clear conscience. Besides, no documents were 
signed and Im not anticipating a raid by the postal Gestapo. And the 
last time I checked CA doesnt require customs declarations yet.
