I'd say that was very polite, Marge. ...considering that everyone
(including me) has jumped to conclusions about who needs rescuing and
under what circumstances.
Thanks for your point of view. and tell your son "thanks" for doing
what he does and possibly rescuing me or someone I love in the future.
peace!
