|  Attention Ottawa Rotters 
			
			The jungle drums indicate that Jim Mackie will be in town this weekend.  Pending Jim's plans, jot a note in your daytimers - Gracies at 5 PM on Friday 2 December (close enough to St Bab's Day!). Agenda - SSDD; Servers - Delectable; Beer - Wonderful; Attendees - Fullabull. Open to all Ottawa area (including the across the fleuve folks) with CMP/SMP interests. What the hell is a ROTter, you ask? = Royal Ottawa Truckers = Rust Ole Truck Types = Regal Old Testy Types = Regularly Ordered Tetnus Testers = Rusty Oxide Tribe Take your pick - or add one yourself. We are just a bunch of fellows who like beer, good food, CMPs/SMPs, and the company of young female ale purveyors... More to follow!

|  Regrets! 
			
			Regretfully, we had to cancel the meeting with Jim.  He had just flew in from the merritimes and will be spending time with the family. Besides, after 7 PM most of the Rotters will be in bed - sleeping.  We will have to catch up later... The greatest regret of course, is not showing photos of our glorious purveyors...

|  Apologies... 
			
			Sorry, Clive.  I couldn't track you down at work - they kept on insisting that you work elsewhere... Send your cell phone number and I will keep you up to date as the situation changes. I am sure you maintained the aire of dignity and decorum expected of a Rotter in our absence.
