LJD,

Your invitation is honored as long as no Jammeh. (laughs!)

Besides, Haruna is a "big eater" and I am too, so you cannot have us both on
the same table.  He slaughters the rams and the goats, notably very recent.
FYI, I spoke with him on july 4th.

Back to your point, I just happen to believe that the duo must be given the
benefit of the doubt, but I greatly share Joe's version. I was wrong for too
long about the two being serious players. I am  now forced on believing in
principles rather than individuals. I think that makes a lot more sense. As
can be seen, the lion is eating grass instead of meat and Henry is doing
good at the daily observer "felicitations." Well, well...seeing is
believing!!

Regards,
yj
