That's great Feste. Maybe the scientific research is there to be viewed, (which I haven't done). Just seems that if there are anectodal reports, like whispers, "ooh, Travis hooked him up, and the results were out of this world", I think I would want to know a little more detail. But I know a lot of people who go to the casino, and know they are going to lose $40.00, or $125.00, and it is well worth it to them. They have a good time. You know when the Wells Fargo Wagon came to town, it was always a big event. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Buck" <dhamiltony2k5@> wrote: > > > > > > > > > Trivedi was up visiting on campus this morning and they hooked > > > > > him up to Fred Travis' equipment.
