I'd have to agree with Ms. Cutler's comments to Mr.
Weeks as being testy--in fact they're incredibly
biting, and not the least apropos.

As a matter of fact, Mr. Weeks is a published author,
having released his last work just a couple of months
ago.  I'm in the process of reading it now.  It is
very readable and a great glimpse at a different part
of Americana.

I recommend it to you.  Mr. Weeks you can pay me later
for the shameless promotion of a friend's hard labor.
LOL
