Rotate the Beam

[ezimmerm at erols.com]

Dear Fred

I am pleased that you set the record straight.  Now I can buy stock in the owners of Dr. Pepper, Tropicana and 
Price Club (Walmart is a good altenative play - Sam's Club probably sells the little grapefruit juices [not to 
be confused with the little LEOs]).

I was surprised that several people asked me about my alternative choice of drink during an SS - Jim Beam. I 
am happy to report that the Beam was rotated during the contest, also at about a 3:1 ratio to Dr. Pepper.  No 
fruit juice was consumed but I did have a grapefruit for breakfast on Sunday.

One chap even asked me how I had gotten such a nice vanity call.  I was quick to point out that I had done it 
the old fashioned way, by applying in 1976.
