God bless the Kiwis. They can make anything from rags and a bit of
bailing wire and then have the fortitude to use what they've made. In
our ultra conservative, litigious side of the world we could learn a
thing or two. Oh, and they have national health care too.


When is your going-away party?

I could live there. We spent 7 weeks there a few years ago, flying
gliders at three different places, sightseeing in between. Met lots of
happy, sensible, people that loved their country. At the time, the US
dollar was very strong, so things seemed cheap, but that's changed some.
It's our favorite foreign country, then Germany, with the understanding
we don't consider Canada really "foreign". We've had a lot of good times
there, too.
