There's a really small town in Arizona I drive through on the way to Prescott by the name of Hope. It's so small, as the the old joke goes, that they put a mirror at the end of Main Street to make town look bigger.

Well anyway, at each end of the town along the highway there's a sign as you leave that tells you...

"You're now beyond Hope"

(no kiddin'!!!...except whoever made the sign wasn't exactly a master of the english language...it REALLY says..."YOUR now beyond Hope"...I think it's still kind of clever though)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
