Red Ramen looked out the car window somewhat dejectedly. He couldn't help but feel somewhat...neglected. As though the universe had forgotten about him.
As though no one had any interest in him any longer.
"What's wrong, Red Not Ramen Noodles?"
Suddenly, Ramen longed for the dejected feeling he'd had five seconds earlier.
A mouse sharted.
"I watched approximately 45 seconds of 'Rock Of Ages'. It was like getting punched in the soul." - Abby Krizner
Traffic from Minsk to the Ukraine was light, except that the occasional heavily loaded trucks slowed him down. After crossing into the Ukraine, Chefman stopped at Chernihiv for gas. He remembered that Chernihiv is one of the oldest cities in the Ukraine, and was the subject of a treaty with his own Byzantine Romani in the early 10th Century. At the time, it was populated by Vikings, who were known as the Rus. During the war he had visited a famous Viking burial mound called The Black Grave along with some of his wartime comrades. As far as the Germans were concerned, the fact that Vikings had occupied the area meant that it should naturally become part of their state, since they regarded themselves as Nordic. He was interested in the fact that certain of the grave goods were discovered to have been Byzantine.
Once the car was filled, he drove the 100 kilometers to Kiev, uneventfully. He had no idea where to start looking for Lena, but he guessed that the older part of the city on the West bank of the Dnieper would be a good place to poke around and ask questions. He parked the car near Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square), and got out for a look around. After a while, he decided to check into the Premier Palace Hotel in the old city, on Shevchenka Boulevard. He liked old hotels that had been restored. It would also be smart to have the car parked in a hotel garage instead of where it could be seen on the street by watchful police.
After checking in, he took a seat at the lobby bar, ordered a kvas with turnip juice, and watched the guests and staff come and go. He'd learned over the centuries to spot the ones who might help him find something for some cash "under the table."
He didn't have to wait long. A hotel manager was walking toward him, with two bellmen in tow. And he bore the distinctive sign of a man from LETSH: a tiny "L" tattooed on his left ear lobe. Chefman had seen it on the man he'd eliminated in Belarus. Things were getting interesting.

"Ugh, I swear that's the last time I have peyote." Sergio said, " It tastes like a cat took a dump in my mouth."
"Believe me, it smells that way too." Frank replied; "I don't know what to say to you lil half-brother, you've been through rehab four times already. I didn't think it could get any worse than the time you accosted Dr. Drew and yelled at him for discontinuing rotary switches and winged tuners while wearing a bunny suit."
"What!?" Rango asked from the front seat of their rental car.
"Molotov! Bah-rew gatta moo-no rah!...." Sergio was still a bit..... well.. supremely wasted.
"He means Doc Oppraman's daughter's wedding Rango. He was invited just after "50 Shades of Blanc" got published, he was still doing the book circuit tour and met Doc in the hotel lobby that his daughter's wedding was being held in.... Two hours and a champagne fountain later TMZ and the police showed up... it was on CNN." Frank explained.
"Missed that." Rango replied; "We better get him a shower and some food, there's a Westin Inn at the next exit. I have a Groupon."
As the manager approached, he suddenly gave Ell a strange look. Chefman noticed something, he hadn't seen before; this man was in his early eighties; and Ell studied his face. He had become something of an expert at facial aging, and he felt something. "I know this man," he thought. "I have seen this face before."
The manager now had an utterly shocked expression on his face, as if he'd seen a ghost. He sent the two bellmen away, and approached Ell. It was as if he didn't know what to do, or what to say. He simply stared, mouth agape.
"Guten Tag, Bodashka, ist es herrlich ist es nicht?" said Ell in perfect Prussian-accented German. He knew the man all right; as a youth, Bodashka had been one of his Ukranian informers. The words stopped the man in his tracks. All the blood drained from Bodashka's florid face. He felt dizzy, as if he were about to pass out. All he could manage was a word.
"Oh, I take good care of myself, Bodashka. Plenty of exercise and fresh air. Aren't you happy to see me after all these years? I'm very happy to see you, my old kamerad."
He slapped the man on the back. The man's knees buckled a little.
"Let's sit and have a drink together. Here, I'll pour you some kvas. Do you like it with turnip juice or with honey?"
The man took the glass, his hand shaking, and gulped some of the bready beverage. "Hauptmann Engel..."
Chefman laughed. "Shhh, Bodashka, my name is Chefman now. I'm an American now."
Bodashka nodded slowly. If anyone found out about his wartime activities, he would be ruined, jailed, and maybe executed. He didn't know what to do. He looked with terror at Chefman. How had this...ghost...aged so little? He should be a corpse by now.
"I need your help, Bodashka. I'm looking for a friend. If you help me, I will say nothing about our past, and I will pay you well. But if you turn on me, you are a dead man. Do you understand?"
The man nodded, his mind racing. "That car you came in, Herr Hauptmann, that is a lot like my friend Karinsky's car."
"That's because it is Mr. Karinsky's car, Bodashka. I am borrowing it from him."
"Yes, I am borrowing it. Mr. Karinsky doesn't need it right now. He's resting."
The man's eyes opened wider. "What do you want me to do, Herr...Mr...Chefman?" he asked, still in shock.
"I'm looking for a woman. Maybe you know her." Chefman took out his iPhone and showed Bodashka a picture he'd taken of Lena. The old man started to shake visibly.
"Bingo," thought Chefman.

"Red?.... Grande-Green Tea- Frappuccino- with Raspberry.... Is there a RED HERE?" The barista in the Starbucks around the corner from Red's lair yelled; "Red? Hello? Your drink is ready. Who's the troll that ordered the green Frap?!"
Just then there was a scream from the women's bathroom. Red had been caught gnawing his way through Traci's (the soccer-mom who only worked there to escape her children and husband) head, after she interrupted his daily grooming that he did at Starbucks ever since Ratchet was not around to clean his bathroom anymore.
"I'm not a troll, I'm a leprechaun! What are you a fuggin' Smurf? What's up with that beanie?!" Red grabbed his Frap and the barista in each hand and poured them both down his rotting throat, he picked his teeth with the barista's ponytail and let out an enormous burp: "BBbbbbllllUUurrrggghttt!!!!" The sound shattered windows all down the strip mall, children cried for their mothers and car alarms echoed for miles.
CNN later reported the casualty numbers for the past week: Dead- 305. Injured-513. Days until Green Tea Frappuccino supply's are replenished-408... Kardashian's?... Still tramps.
"Bodashka, why are you still working now that you are what, in your eighties?"
"Hauptmann Eng..er..Mr. Chefman, I have managed this hotel for nearly 40 years. It is my life's work. And, well, I have a younger wife who likes to shop..."
"And you are working on the side for the Leprechaun, I see."
"She likes to shop. What can I do? If I don't buy, she leaves me for someone closer to her age."
"Bodashka, I will pay $100,000 US for the woman whose picture I showed you. A wire transfer into your bank account. Or a paypal transfer, though you will have to pay your own fees. You paypal, you pay fees."
"Hauptmann, I would love to help you, and for that I can give you information as to where they are keeping her."
"No, Bodashka. I'm not James Bond who breaks into hideouts or headquarters and rescues kidnapped women. $150,000 US, and you bring her to me. Here. Within 24 hours. Tell them the Leprechaun wants her here. Tell them whatever is believable. But bring the woman to me. Alone. No tricks. If anything happens to me, my people in Berlin release secret documents that I gave them regarding your past activities on behalf of the Nazis. Do we have a deal?"
He winged the business about the secret documents. It was a bluff.
Bodashka thought for a minute, as he drained his glass. He had little choice, and he needed the money. He figured if Chefman was still alive, anything was possible, and didn't doubt the existence of secret documents implicating him as a traitor.
"I will bring her," he replied. "I will need a little advance. A show of good faith."
"Give me your information. You will have $20,000 in an hour. Remember, no tricks. If there are tricks, you will suffer the consequences."
Bodashka wrote his information on a hotel note pad, and slipped it to Chefman.
"Thank you, Mr. Chefman," Bodashka said loudly. I hope that I have been of service to you. I will have the parcel delivered to your room this evening around ten PM. Is there anything else we can do for you to make your stay more enjoyable?"
"Thank you, no. I appreciate your efforts." He gave the old man a wink. Then he went to his room with his backpack and gig bag, took out his laptop, and initiated the paypal transfer to Bodashka's account.
An 800 year old man who has worked and invested for that long accumulates a fair amount of wealth without being a financial genius. It would be an expensive date, but it would not break the bank. And the world needed to be saved in order for him to enjoy the next few hundred years. He set the alarm on his iPhone to 8:30, and laid down for a nap.

Opraman's therapist tried to place a call to several individual's whom he was fairly certain were targets.. he had reviewed the notes from the past few sessions. Despite being totally stoned for each session (in a feeble attempt to cope with Opraman's ravings) he still took coherent notes. And a pattern was forming. something about a fixation on Leprechauns, and something about a vendetta towards a very old man who was occasionally incontinent.
He called 3 different people....a fellow named Sergio...who promptly hung up on him. Then it was Rango's turn to curse into the earpiece and hang up. Finally, the therapist decided to call a guitar dealer in Nevada by the name of Red. The name had come up too many times. He had to warn someone that Opraman was dangerous.
The phone was ringing....the ringback tone was a recording of the "Lucky Charms" jingle. Suddenly, the therapist keeled over, blood dripping from his nostrils, and face an ashen grey...he had stopped breathing.
30 miles away, in his underground refuge...his "man cave"...Opraman slowly withdrew the needle from the therapist voodoo doll.
"Hated to do it" he said to himself. "But he was getting to close". He grinned to himself...he had killed two birds with one stone....he had given his therapist a post dated check the day before instead of cash...and now he would stop the check and avoid paying for the last few sessions.
30 miles away, Red's chief Leprechaun finally picked up the still ringing phone. But, there was no one on the other end. He hung up.
The phone rang again. He picked it up on the first ring this time. It was Opraman.
"The time has come" he heard Opraman say.
"Gather your forces....Ell Chefman and Hanzi Hanzomatic must be stopped before they form a union too powerful for us to overcome."
Opraman hung up the phone,. The master plan was coalescing.
30 miles away, Lindsey Lohan kept knocking on the therapist's door, but there was no answer.
"Damn," she said to herself, "If I'm late, he'll call it resisting. When I'm early he says I'm trying to please him. When I'm on time he says I'm being obsessive. I love this guy! Maybe he'll see me 3 times a day if I ask".
She didn't realize that she had had her last therapy session several hours before.

"Hans!! There are two guys at the front door looking for you. I don't have to tell you how sick of this s#!t I am, why do people keep showing up here!? I thought we already had this discussion, no more "guitar" dudes unless you ask me first. They better not be here to sell you anything, and don't lie to me and tell me it was a "trade". I'm not falling for that anymore, how would you feel if I had as many high heels as you do guitars?" [Beep. censored for privacy] asked the man known in some circles as Hattori Handsomatic.
Hans couldn't answer that openly, he would love it if his wife had an expensive habit that could justify his guitar budget AND satisfy his maturing taste in women's formal wear; " Look! I don't know why these guys think I know everything about everything, I don't even know who they are! I'll get rid of them right now!" Hans stormed off, down the hallway, across the bridge of the Koi pond in their foyer, and answered the door. "What?!" He asked the two gentleman.
"Pleasure to meet you, my name is Rango and this is Frank. We came hear to ask you about the whole "One Guitar" myth. You see, the leprechaun hath returned."
"Hath returned?" mocked Hans.
"Hath returned." Frank replied, dead serious.
"Right. Well thanks a lot for dropping by, it's always great to find out random people can just stop by.... How did you know where to find my home? Google maps?" Hans asked sarcastically.
"Hey we are not just random people." Rango said; "This here is Frankie Bello...."
Hans cut him off; "From Anthrax? I F$$kin' love Anthrax!"
Frank and Rango looked at each other until Frank replied; "Uh... um... Yeah?! I'm totally from Anthrax. In fact Scott Ian gave me your address, you guys met at a S.O.D. show or something?"
"Totally! I can't believe he remembered that, I was like... seventeen! I don't recall giving him my address... but.. Come on in!"
Hans lead the men in through the foyer and into his music room; "Have a seat. All I can tell you is this..........."

"........... there is a legend.
The legend says that in order to defeat the leprechaun, you must posses the first Custom 24 that Paul used to get investors for the company. It was the guitar that actually mesmerized these investors for you see the investors were also leprechauns, after all what are leprechauns but hoarding troll people with the shrewdness to finance a venture as opulent as PRS?
Before you ask me where to find this guitar let me tell you that it has been "officially" listed as stolen...... Like it doesn't even exist. Here, this is a picture from an obscure Dave Burrluck scripture I bought from Amazon. com
However, there are some tales that speak of the "One" as not being stolen but rather safeguarded. Three men are supposed to hold the "key" to the location of the "One" , they are called: "De Tree Cola Bredren" defenders of the faith."
"Uh, that isn't much of a legend" Rango said; " It just sounds like we have to acquire more guitars, what else is new?"
"Exactly!" Hans blurted out: "Don't you ever wonder why you always want a new guitar? It isn't because you are a horrible materialist! It's because our ancestors passed down this trait in ritual to defend us from the evil leprechauns!! IN OUR DNA! IT"S THERE!"
Rango looked at Hans like he was that dude from "Ancient Aliens", you know, the one with the crazy eyes and jacked up hair. To his immediate right Rango noticed Frank had the same look on his face, it was like gun fever mixed with bird flu; not exactly a real illness until you visualized it enough to make it a tangible thing like in "The Secret".
"I have a yellowish-green Siggy in the trunk of the car I'll trade you for this Glittered Starla!" Frank spazzed out and yelled to Hans.
"What about finding the three "Bredren"? Isn't that more important right now?!" Rango exclaimed.
"Deal! No give backs!" Hans said in the direction of Frank.
"G@d D@mnit! Hans!" the voice of [Beep. censored for privacy] yelled down the hallway; "Your daughter is playing Polly Pocket's with some fruitcake in the backyard! You better have this taken care of before I get back from yoga, and Nooo I'm not wearing the tight yoga pants, so skip the amorous routine and ditch these weirdos! Dinner by six and then my Bravo! shows start at seven, and then we can look through the Crate & Barrel catalog for a housewarming present for my cousin Lisa. Oh, we are meeting with Hunter and Brooke tomorrow morning for the Farmer's Market, so lets get to bed early.... and please do something about that guy in the backyard after you take out the trash."
"Polly Pocket? Fruitcake! Backyard, Trash?!!" Hans was worried now.
"Relax." Rango said; "It's just Sergio."
"Oh, all right. Hey would you mind helping me with the trash Frank?"
"Sure, it's on the way to the car" Frank said... "No take backs."

From somewhere still in Eastern Europe, Ell Chefman spoke 9 words into his transmitter....they were..."Sergio, you missed your calling. This is great stuff".
This was the secret code that activated the devices at his disposal. The forces were gathering towards an apocalyptic conclusion. these 9 words were the codes that would ensure the denouement of a certain madman in NJ who had a penchant for bad furnishings and outdated decor.
In his basement "laboratory", Opraman barely felt the incendiary blasts. In a moment, the house was engulfed in flames. Walking the dog, Ginger could see the house folding in upon itself, with no signs of life.
"What's the name of that guy on Facebook who keeps asking to be my friend?" She thought to herself, without missing a beat.
"Arf!" said Wayne, the Airedale happily. No more time spent watching Opraman in the basement, waiting in vain for a cookie or biscuit.
Hans watched the guys pull away. Their departure was more emotional than he'd expected. Well, not so much the departure - it was really the sudden end of Polly Pocket in the backyard. The tears, the wails of despair, the pleas of "Please Daddy, just a little longer!" His daughter's tears always touched him - that Sergio's did was a surprise, especially since his daughter had given Hans that "please - get me out of here" look that he knew so well from his favorite guitar store. And that other guitar store. And the one just around the corner from that, and the one in the next town.
The phone rang. Hans answered with a half-choked "Hello?"
The voice on the other end said, "Is [Beep. censored for privacy] available?"
Hans said, "No - she just left for yoga. Can I take a message?"
The voice said, "No, thank you. I'll just give her a call later."
Hans paused, then said, "Paul? Is that you? Paul Reed Smith?"
Paul just sighed. "Look, Hans, really - I don't want to talk. I promised [Beep. censored for privacy] - please, ask her to change her name. It hurts my throat every time I have to pronounce those stupid brackets! Anyway, I promised her I'd call her periodically to check on you, but only on the condition that I didn't have to actually talk to you. Especially when I don't have any more rare prototypes left for you to lust over. By the way, your dog's about to knock over the glass of Scotch you left in the dining room."
Hans heard the click as the call ended, followed almost immediately by the crash of the glass in the dining room, followed by the sounds of the dog lapping up a rare 127-year-old Scotch.
"I watched approximately 45 seconds of 'Rock Of Ages'. It was like getting punched in the soul." - Abby Krizner
"See that's the thing, Bratz teach little girls to be total sluts, whereas Polly Pockets teach children to fit in to mainstream society!" Sergio yelled from the backseat; " There is no middle ground! Where is the....."
"That's it! I can't f#@king stand this anymore!!! I was cool with the pedicure, the appletini, and I didn't say s#!t when you shaved your legs in the hotel bathroom before it was my turn to shower, but I've had enough!" The vein in Rango's forehead was pulsing like it was in a cartoon, Frank had been around many people who had succumbed to the "Breakdown" stage of hanging out with Sergio for a few days and knew that the first step to combat it was to first get the victim some food, and second distract Sergio with something else.
"Hey! Look! There is actually a Bennigan's at the next exit. Why don't we pull over for some food?" Frank suggested. "Sergio, you want some fried cheese?"
As the men walked to the front door of "America's Favorite Forgotten Irish Chain Pub" ( that's what Bennigan's marketing department had chosen as their new tag line) Sergio continued on a similar, yet different rant; " How come the irish don't have a good potato recipe? I mean the French do, the Italians do, Mexico, Indians do, even America has french fries! You would think that a culture that would have gone extinct if not for potato's would have come up with something better than boiling those f@#ker's and flavoring them with lawn clippings!"
Frank whispered into the hostesses ear, they were lead to a table in the corner, seated, and Frank was handed a remote control for the big screen TV right across from where Sergio was seated. "I'll never get sports! I mean I could understand it if you were watching them for the cheerleaders! Why is the Lingerie Bowl only a half hour? I think the Super Bowl should be at halftime and....." Sergio trailed off when Frank changed the channel to "Project Runway"... "Okay we will have two Guinness, anything alcoholic that comes in a empty pineapple with a parasol, two steaks- medium rare, and some fried cheese. Thanks!" Frank said to the waitress and then turned to Rango; "This should buy us an hour or so."
The steak and stout leveled Rango's testosterone to a point he had not felt in days as Frank knew it would, Sergio got up and left the table after his second fruity pineapple drink and disappeared through a door marked "Staff Only" leaving the two men to get down to business.
"What are we supposed to do?" asked Rango; " It seemed somewhat do-able to find "The One" guitar, but now we have to find another one from the "Tree Cola Bredren"? What does that even mean?!"
" It must be some sort of riddle... maybe it has something to do with the wood it's made out of?" replied Frank.
"Ah, the Cola tree." Rango said back while having a knowing expression on his face; "Must be illegal, or at the very least rare!"
"Right!" said Frank; "We should contact this Arborist I know, He will have the answe...."
Just then Sergio returned to the table with the hostess, her hair was disheveled and the back of her dress was tucked into her pantyhose, while she didn't look extremely happy.. Sergio was grinning from ear to ear. "So what are you guys talkin' about?" Sergio asked. He then fake-typed something into his brand new iPhone, (presumably the hostesses phone number). Sergio kissed the phone in a way that "Larry" from the television show"Three's Company" would have if cell phones were a regular sight at the "Regal Beagle" and nodded at the young girl meaning he had saved her number.
Rango knew this was a farce, he had received the same text message in duplicate from Sergio for the past four days, every hour on the hour, the man was hopeless when it came to cellular technology; "We figured out what Hans meant! The "Tree Cola Bredren" is a species of tree that "The One" is made from! All we have to do is get a MODCAT number and the dealer info and we can send that damn leprechaun back to whence he came!!!!"
"Whence?" asked Sergio.
"W-W-Whence?!" stammered Frank.
"Shut up! You know, WHERE, or, THE PLACE from where Red came." Rango looked rather pleased with his theory.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Sergio laughed and was kinda' acting like a d!ck; "Tree Cola Bredren!?! Ah...Ha! Ha! A TREE!!! Ah Ha! HA!...."
"So help me I'm gonna smack you out of that Pink Fog you've been floatin' in faster than you can say BMW!" Rango turned red in the face and was about to give Sergio the beat down of a lifetime; "DIE FRUITCAKE!!!"
Frank grabbed Rango by the shoulders and sat him back down; "CHILL RANGO! Get a hold of yourself man! We shouldn't be fighting each other... the enemy is out there man... out there!"
"Sorry... you're right." Rango acknowledged his anger and retreated to a calm place in his mind; "What do you think it means?"
"I'll tell you" Sergio said; "It's in a form of dialect that can only be described as "Colorastian" a backwards form of Jamaican Patois that has been bastardized by caucasian dudes, it means: The Three Color Brethren. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the three Custom 24's that PRS supposedly made for Carlos Santana in the nineties."
"They must be the keys to "The One"! Who knows where we can find them!?" Frank asked.
"Oh, I got that." replied Sergio; " I have been stalking those guys for like, two years. They won't give 'em up though.... it's like the Knights of the Round Table or some s#!t... kinda' makes sense now.... I got their names and address from Google maps, I can set the GPS."
Rango swiped the iPhone from Sergio's hand: "I'll take that. I don't want to get lost on the way there because you accidentally redirected us to a Forever 21 that was having a sale in Iowa.... Oh and Miss? May I have the check please? Yes, and um, I have a Groupon?.... Yes I realize it's expired.. may I please talk to your manager? I'm sure we can work something out....."

Back at his lair....
Red was enjoying Kentucky Fried Chicken biscuits and Zimas... many, many, biscuits and Zimas. Red was on a conference call with two men who could either be his masters or his minions, only time will tell which they will be....
"Yeah! Snarf snarf, I think things are going quite well if you ask me! You gentlemen did a fine job with the whole Hamer and Guild dissolution, and Henr.. er, I mean Orville, Steinberger and Kramer are NEVER coming back! Snarf snarf... All we have to do is continue to steal their endorsers and get them playing "Quicklead" guitars and we can force a merger." Red nearly regurgitated biscuit juice on the phone as he said this.
"The marketing boys are keen on starting another campaign against them, if we can shake their consumer base they may have no other course of action but to sell." The man referred to only as "Leo" said.
"But to whom?" Henr..er, um.. Orville said; "We have just as much a right to this takeover as anyone else! You think it's easy to run coffee shops and pay off Uncle Sam at the same time? Manufacturing a "flood" to distract consumers of our OEM practice has resulted in insane profits!! Why else would we try to dupe the IRS with the "Firebird X"?! Do you think we were stupid enough to believe anyone would buy such a thing? NO! This is business and REVENGE! I'm not gonna be made a fool of in front of the Supreme Court three times..."
"To whom?" The man identified as "Leo" said.
"Snarf... To Whom?" Red asked.
"Yeah... TO WHOM!... I say WE are going to buy it. WE are going kill it, and then WE will sell it to the Chinese!" Orville replied.
"Well if I do help bring them down, "whom" is going to.. snarf.. build my Quicklead line? Snarf.. I don't like immigrants, and their spicy food upsets my bowels." Red proclaimed.
"Let us not start fighting over the corpse of a living creature so soon my friends, we still have much work to do. Our agent in MI6 has warned us that somebody may be trying to stop you with "The One" Red, you won't be of much help to us if you don't deal with them." leo said.
"Is this true Red?" Orville asked; "This wouldn't be the first time you have disappointed us, do I have to remind you about your time with us?"
Red did his best to hide the hatred he felt for both of these men, but if he had to decide which one of them he wanted to see perish first... he could answer that in a second.
"No, of course not.. Snarf, snarf... I have got everything under control. I have an inside guy... Nobody knows who he is, I get 24 hour updates from him, and will know what they are planing to do before they do!"
"Well I hope you know what you're doing... your expense reports are upsetting the accounting department, and we are not as flush with revenue as we once were after that whole stock exchange thing." said Leo.
"Trust me." Red replied; "I have them just where I want them... Snarf ,snarf."
Doc Bill set the speed control for 'cruise', which in his rented Bugatti Veyron Super Sport was a mild 210 mph. He had had the Bugatti up to over 250, but backed off a bit when "Hot Rod Lincoln" came up in the random music queue.
His resultant average speed was therefore a little over 190, even accounting for the stoplights, traffic and the toll at the Bay Bridge. He had slowed to 97 for the toll, the threshold he had found for the EZ Pass readers on the Western edge of the bridge. His travel time from Carroll County to the factory at Stevensville was thus just a little over 30 minutes for the 60 mile trip.
He eased the Bugatti into the space reserved for Mike Deeley, it was after two and Mike would be on the road somewhere having a beer with a dealer. "A beer, as in one," snorted Ruger.
He walked up the ramp at the NorthWest corner of the building and knocked the secret knock.
Knock, knock, knock, "Penny."
Knock, knock, knock, "Penny."
Knock, knock, knock, "Penny."
One of the crew from the SE final inspection team let him in. Doc Bill headed for the meeting room he knew would be set up in the room just behind reception. Despite the speed of his steed, Ruger could see that he was almost late, the room was already crowded.
The Private Stock Team were there as was PTC - the Special Forces Unit. In the corner he spied two other familiar faces.
"Don't you ladies ever tire of that game?" interrupted Ruger.
"No." smiled Autumn Sky. "Ever since we used that exchange to mesmerize our captors in the North Korea long enough for Sky to garrote the chief interrogator while I kicked the guard in the Ben Was. It saved our lives."
"You garroted the questioner?"
"No, Sky did that," said Autumn Sky.
"Who kicked the guard in the nads?"
"No, Sky did that."
Both women were on the verge of cracking up as Doc bill became increasingly confused. But before Ruger could get the story sorted out, Paul walked in.
"Hi, Paul," the group said in unison.
"Hi, friends." Paul looked at a sander in the fourth row. "There is a mouse under the rack of blanks three from the left in the fourth bank of shelves in the shop. I just heard it sneeze. Go kill it." The sander left the room with his jaw on the floor.
"New guys," Doc Bill chuckled to himself.

In New Jersey, the wrecking crew was still trying to pull all of the debris out of the smoldering crater where Opraman had used to live. Ginger and Wayne, the Airedale, had already taken up residence with one of Ginger's many facebook and farmville friends. Bennett was no longer a thought in either of their minds.
Within the debris, a phone could be heard.
Among the scattered detritis, including some random bone fragments and ligament tissue, the remains of what appeared to be some rag dolls, dressed differently, with various pins sticking out of them, could be seen.
A first responder found the phone..remarkably intact within the carnage. however, upon closer inspection, he noted that it was a unique instrument. It had no ability to send...only receive...and it appeared to be constructed of a metal known as "unobtainium".
The phone continued to ring. the ring tone was a "Lucky Charms Cereal" advertisement.
"Hello" said the first responder...."hello...hello??"
A muffled voice replied..."hold for Mr. Raman" and in the background...."Red....pick up...Opraman answered...finally!"
"Bennett....what's up...you're 3 hours overdue. Status report!"
The first responder replied, "I'm very sorry...I think the party you are calling is deceased. this is just his telephone".
"Damn" was heard, as the phone went dead.
The first responder went back to his gruesome task. He threw the telephone into the pile of collected debris, and thought no more about it. Picking up what appeared to be a skull fragment and a piece of fibula, he was intent on obtaining all of the former resident's body parts so that a decent burial could be arranged.
"Damn, too late," thought the first author... He had handed control of 'Bennett' over to the fifth author and just a couple of posts later, that author immolated the character. Before the first author could save him, the fith was burying his bones. The first author would not make that mistake again...
In the Leprechaun Cloning Facility, a new batch of red haired minions was being issued their greens. Bennet set up the facility at the behest of Red and was assured he would be handsomely paid. Bennett had made the mistake of asking why it was necessary to clone and Red had patiently explained the obvious - no woman in her right mind would have sex with a leprechaun, let alone carry his baby. "That explains their general disposition, then," Bennet had thought to himself.
News of Oppraman's toasty end reached the facilities manager via an angry phone call from Red, known in the cloning unit as "Big Red One." The comely secretary Bennett had just hired days before wept. It had nothing to do with Bennett. Her father-in-law's brother's niece's chiropractor's dog had mange and the news had rocked her.

There was a knock on Chefman's hotel room door.
"Who is it?" he asked.
"Telegram," said the voice. Chefman pulled out the Makorov pistol he'd taken from the first hotel manager and opened the door, making sure to duck out of the way of the anticipated Land Shark attack.
But there stood Lena.
"What, you think we don't get Saturday Night Live reruns in Belorus?" she asked, scowling. Then she burst into a smile, and hugged Chefman. "This is all I get?" she asked. "You, I could shoot. But thank you."
Chefman quickly pushed her out of the way of the door, and onto the floor as two silenced bullets ripped through the door. "I said no tricks!" Chefman yelled after them. He could hear footsteps running down the hall. He knew better than to go after them. There would be a third man waiting to kill whoever came out the door of the room first. Still laying on the floor, he called the front desk.
"Give me Bodashka," he said. After an interminable wait of a minute and a half, the old man answered the phone.
"I told you, no tricks."
"Hauptmann," said Bodashka, "There were no tricks, I have given you the girl."
"Then you were followed. Send a house detective up to my floor and get rid of whoever is in the hall, or you are a dead man in two ways."
"Yes, Hauptmann," said the older man. "It will be done. I'm sorry." He couldn't believe his ploy hadn't worked. Sweat started to bead on his forehead.
"Sorry will cost you," said Ell, and he hung up the phone.
Lena was breathing hard from the excitement. Her senses were aroused. And she hadn't had sex in 70 years. Ell could hear the house detective and several men searching the hall. He knew that for appearance's sake, Bodashka had to make it appear as though he hadn't been in on the attempt to kill them. But he also knew that Bodashka couldn't simply return the woman without consequences from the Leprechaun.
He pulled out his iPhone. "Siri, get me Doc Bill." Obligingly, the phone began to dial. "Hello Ell," said Doc Bill.
"Bill, I need your help, and no time for questions. I'm going to give you an email address. I need your people to send a fake paypal payment to it. It needs to be obviously fake, in the amount of $130,000. Got that? OK, sending the address now. Gotta go."
"Won't he know it's a fake payment?" asked Lena.
"Yes," said Ell. "That's the point. At first, he won't know what's happening. It will take him some time, maybe a half a day, to figure it out. Owing him the money will keep us alive for a little while. Eventually, he will have to come to us for it. He's deep in debt. He will come to us. But right now we need to go. Grab your things and let's get out of here. I'll order the car."
Bodashka went to his office and closed the door. He opened a cabinet and turned on the digital playback of the bug he'd put in Chefman's room. There was only snoring, then he heard the recording of Lena's knock on the door and entry, and one muffled bullet. Then it went dead.
As Chefman checked the room for his things, he noticed a buillet hole in the lampshade, but there was a bent piece of metal coming out of it. He looked closer and saw that the bullet that came through the door had destroyed a tiny bugging device. "Lucky shot," he thought, as they left the room.
Last edited by LSchefman; 03-05-2013 at 09:37 PM.
As the Mercedes pulled away from the hotel and headed back to Minsk, Chefman knew that there would be a homing device attached to the car. Though he could easily find it with the help of the special guitar PRS had made him, he also wanted Bodashka to be able to find them.
As they drove, Lena leaned over the console of the Mercedes and put her head on Chefman's shoulder.
"I'm beginning to like you, a lot," she said in a sleepy voice. "Why are we stopping?"
"I have something to do, it'll take a second." They were upstream of Kiev, he'd stopped by the Dnieper. It was dark and no one was around. He carefully wiped down the Makarov MP to remove any prints, and removed the clip. One by one, he wiped down each bullet and the clip, and with his gloves on, threw the gun, the clip, and the bullets into the darkness of the river. He kneeled and waited for a few minutes to see if he could see anyone. There was only a dog barking in the distance.
He knew that eventually the link between Karinsky's disappearance and the Mercedes would be made. The weapon was a liability, as was the car. But he needed the Mercedes for a short while.
He walked back to the car, and saw that Lena was asleep. Ell got behind the wheel, turned on the radio, and picked up a Belorusian station.
They were playing the James Bond movie theme music. He recognized the guitar part. "Great tone," he thought. The black Mercedes roared off into the night.
In his office, Bodashka turned on his computer, and a map came up on the screen. A blinking red dot showed him the location of the homing device he'd put on the car. A smile crossed his lips. "Big Deutsches Reich spymaster," he thought. "We are smarter than we used to be."
(cue Bond theme)

A gathering of a group of gay men in an alley next to garbage dumpsters for the purpose of engaging in a homosexual orgy. One or more of the men often lean against a dumpster while giving or receiving a sexual move. Dumpster parties often occur late at night in alleys next to bars or fast food restaurants.

Jeffers® Chum Bowl is a stainless steel travel bowl with funnel design to prevent spills. Read More
(as of January 2014)
Stainless steel travel bowl with funnel design to prevent spills.
Large 2 quart capacity.
Made in India
- Material: Stainless Steel
- Country of Origin: India
- Size: 2 Quart (½ Gallon)
- Type: Travel
Reviews (8)
"Oh my gosh"
Looked great but I never thought about reading a review. You can not get it apart to clean. Five different people have tried. I quess you could put it into a dish washer to clean. I should have sent it back.
"Chum Bowl"
"This is a newer design than this old ones Jeffers used to sell. It has small holes at the bottom of the ""cone"" in the lid. The ones Jeffers sold before had one hole in the center of the cone that is a much better design. I am going to try to find a metal shop that can cut out the cone at the bottom of the lid and make one smooth hole for the water to be available for the dogs. My dogs have no problem putting their tongue through the center hole. There is no real problem cleaning the water dish if a bottle brush is used to clean it. You can get a bottle brush at Target for about $2. No big deal....."
This is a terrible product and not worthy of jeffers. The design is awful and the only way it works is to throw away the middle part and just use the top and bottom.
"Good idea poor design"
Like other reviewers said this bowl is impossible to clean. Not to mention once you get it open the sharp edges cut into your fingers. Wish I could return it but I was out of state when mine came and when I finally got home it was too late to send back.
"Impossible to Clean Inside"
I thought this would be a great bowl for my cocker's long ears but I couldn't even get the lid off. I called the company to find out if I was doing something wrong and they agreed that it's very difficult which means you can't clean it properly. I wasn't going to give my dog water out of a bowl I couldn't clean so I returned it.
"Wish I had read reviews BEFORE buying this"
The seal was old and would not seal properly so water leaks all over the place/. I am surprised Jeffers wouldnt even bother to look at the seal before sending it to a customer!
"CHUM dog water bowl"
I just received this spill resistant dog bowl and all I can say is I wasted my money. The bowl, if tipped will leak. the lid should be a screw on but is instead just sitting on top of the bowl and will easily come loose. Look elsewhere...it's pretty but doesn't perform well.
"chum water bowl"
The bowl is difficult to take apart and so the seal is easily damaged. Also, the funnel is not deep enough to allow access to water in the bottom of the pan. Even when the bowl is full most of the water is not available.

Jerome Russell's Temporary Spray-in Natural Color Highlights
ChelseaHairBlackNormal HairThick or Coarse HairDifferent Experience.So, the first time I bought this was about maybe 3 days ago (I wrote a review). I only bought the coffee brown and it made my hair very hard and stiff. Also since my hair is black I had to spray practically quarter of the can on one part of my hair for the brown to show. However, I made a re-purchase and bought the brick red and I LOVE IT. The red shows up INSTANTLY on black hair without much spray. AND, it's so soft in my hair like it was really dyed. It does come out on your hands and comb so I suggest using an old comb to comb your hair out because since the color is temporary, when you brush your hair it shows on the comb. Overall, I LOVE the brick read. Definitely making a re-purchase.posted Jul 24, 2012Link to this post
Cathy I.Houston, TexasHairDark BrownNormal HairJerome Russell Spray On Hair ColorGreat stuff for a temporary fix. covers extremely well. some overspray so watch where you spray it. it washes right out. hard to find though. walgreens used to carry it now they only carry weird colors, pink, purple etc, not normal colors like brown. i guess more people want purple hair? i only order online now. there are some other sprays out, however they are expensive, i.e. $24 a can. this is very reasonable and worth every penny, even to pay shipping. can't say enough about it. covers grey. i have tried many others, this is the best. a little spray goes a long way and lasts til you wash it out. best way to cover gray w/o going to salon and paying big bucks, or using messy hair color that eventually will ruin your hair.posted Jul 20, 2012Link to this post
ChelseaHairBlackNormal HairFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairCoffee BrownI have REALLY black hair and the coffee brown hardly shows without me using a lot of it. However, I don't mind because it's not TOO much used, and it does have a nice smell. Kind of smells like powder. Also, it doesnt have your hair feeling natural. It sort of feels like you have hairspray in you hair but its not to stiff, so I don't mind. I noticed it does come on your fingers but not so much. Use an old comb to comb your hair in case the color comes off on your comb. Overall I actually really like this product and plan on repurchasing along with buying more colors. :)posted Jul 19, 2012Link to this post
JennaHairMedium BrownNormal HairI Don't Know Why People Gave It Such High ReviewsIt's horrible! You put it on and as soon as you do, don't touch your hair EVER. Wear clothes that do not even come near your neck and put your hair back. that is the ONLY way to wear this stuff in your hair. I bought the red and everytime I touched it, my hand would turn red. Wash it and it's just pink suds everythere just from touching it!!! It's all over my shirt, my neck turned red!!!!!!!!!! I mean, I will never use it again ever. I also want to mention that I did not spray it all over my hair even. Just some streaks here and there. I mean the way it just rubs off on everything, I will never buy or use it again!posted Apr 12, 2012Link to this post
TammyHouston, TXHairBlondeColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairJust The Right Amount Of Highlights!I purchased this because I dyed my hair blonde and it was too light and my dark blonde roots were showing. Instead of dying my hair again and causing more damage, I decided to purchase this temporary spray in bronze and it was a good choice. Not too dark but added a redish/brown tone to my hair which made my roots blend better. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the smell is a little overpowering.posted Feb 17, 2012Link to this post
PhyllisHairLight BrownColor Treated HairI Depend On This ProductI've used Jerome's temporary spray- in color for years..but not for highlights ... for covering my gray (white) roots as soon as they show up in certain places that I consider unacceptable. Like in thinner areas that will separate. I mostly have thick fast growing hair that needs coloring every three weeks but gets it at four weeks. Jeromes carries me thru till that time. I can't find the "Coffee Brown" at any of the stores so order it here and buy a couple of bottles at a time. I really have to have this stuff or let my hair all go white and that's not going to happen so don't ever discontinue this! I've tried everything else and they just don't work.posted Feb 11, 2012Link to this post
KateHairMedium BrownNormal HairColor Treated HairWhere Has This Been All My Life?I love this product. It's a time-saver. Just spray on the bits of roots that are showing, and you're good to go. Cuts down on the number of "touch ups" I need to do, which take up time I don't always have. I'm a brunette and find that the brown color is perfect. I know it's sold in wild colors for fun highlighting, but the brown is great for hiding roots. It can rub off on your fingers if you forget and scratch your head, etc., but that's a small price to pay. Washes out w/ each shampooing.posted Dec 14, 2011Link to this post
BrittanySDHairBlondeNormal HairGreat Product!I used this for Halloween to change my entire hair color. It looked so natural people had a hard time believing it wasnt a wig! Also, has a natural looking shine to it. I'm blonde and i used copper/red, and it washed out cleanly on my first try with no staining or residue, even after sleeping in it! Great product!posted Nov 3, 2011Link to this post
Vikki T.HairDark BrownColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairBeautiful Highlights And No One Knows How.I have been using temporary sprays for my highlights for several years now. I spray in spots, just in my front bang area and on one side usually, Looks like hightlights!posted Aug 19, 2011Link to this post
Cathy I.HoustonHairDark BrownNormal HairHair Colorthis hair color is great. i used to purchase it at walgreens but unfortunately they don't carry just brown any more, only blue, pink, etc. i buy 6 at a time to last me a couple of months. it is easier to just spray than to use a perm color and not get the right color. this is the same color each time, it blends in with my original color just covers the gray up.
when i ordered this it arrived in 3 days, i was afraid i would run out but delivery is very fast.
i hope they never discontinue, i don't know what i'd do. i was glad to find this on a website as i checked 6 walgreens in our area and alsoo sally's etc, all those stores, no one carries this any more.
Glad I found this website!!!posted Aug 16, 2011Link to this post

Comments about SMARTWOOL Women's Secret Sleuth Socks:
There are many cheaper "no-show" socks on the market, but they are usually only available as one-size-fits-all. I have pretty big feet and one-size socks are always too small for me. I tried going the cheap route first and wasted money on a bunch of styles that just slipped off my heel all day. These go great with my ballet flats and boat shoes of all brands (from high end to super casual). The Large was a perfect fit for my size 10 feet.

That was certainly suprising. I will put my money on mind confusing Genjutsu. (Used on either Kakashi or Rin)
Spoiler:- My latest challenge:
Zetsu is basically controlling Obito's body in the suit right now. So if this is all a set up, then this will be the point where Zetsu will turn around so that Obito will never see what really happened, nor meet with Kakashi again.
I think that when he turns around, the Rin that we see will turn out to be a Zetsu-clone, meaning that Rin was killed before by the Kirigakure Ninjas, Zetsu spored her body, picked a fight with Kakashi, and transformed into Rin to screw with him even more.
Of course would Kakashi then have tears in his eyes! He probably just lost Rin moments ago and is forced to take down an enemy that has taken on her likeness! The 'Rin-clone' saying Kakashi's name is just another psychological torture thingie that I think Zetsu kinda like to do in general...
I think Zetsu disguised himself as Rin! :P
That's a nice twist.. The 'Madara found you when the cave collapsed'-line just doesn't seem that likely considering how little Madara actually appears to move and how Obito would be covered in even more rubble then before.
What I said above, or this.. But even then why would Kakashi be under genjutsu when he has his Sharingan on?
Answer to all the bad things in the world: Give up on trying to make everything better. Hence, accepting it for what it is. YOLO! <- Click the link and daw.. -.-
Yeah he probably wouldn't... but I also don't think he'd be crying if he wasn't currently in the act of killing Rin herself. And I'm also not convinced that Zetsu is even against Obito... even though he/they/it works for Madara, it seems like Zetsu's sympathetic and friendly toward Obito. But I could be wrong, since Madara must have some plan to get Obito to come around, Zetsu might be a part of that plan. *shrugs*
I'm glad someone mentioned this. Obito clearly stated that Kakashi let Rin die, not that he killed her. There is clearly more to this than what we were shown. Sawyer7mage in his review said it best when it was "a cliffhanger gone wrong."
His Sharingan doesn't provide immunity to other Sharingan-based genjutsu especially since he is a non-Uchiha. Don't forget when Itachi placed him under Tsukuyomi. Even Sasuke was momentarily affected by that in his battle with Itachi.
White Kyurem, the dragon infused with the power of Reshiram
Well, at least Kishi was always good with cliffhangers... seriously, I need to know what happened in next weeks issue :P

I call Zetsu clones as the solution to this cliffhanger.
Lost the right side of his body, got trapped in Madara mindgames, got trapped in a Zetsu bodysuit, got trapped into thinking that Kakashi killed his love interest (which may've been a Zetsu-clone), and afterwards deemed revenge on the cruel, cruel world...
Edit: 5555th post! xD
Answer to all the bad things in the world: Give up on trying to make everything better. Hence, accepting it for what it is. YOLO! <- Click the link and daw.. -.-
So... basically Obito massacres dozens of Kiri hunter-nin. That's cool.
Actually, I thought it was pretty cool how he feels like he's in Hell... that explains the name of the chapter, and ends it (and all that merciless killing) pretty poignantly.
Also interesting to finally see the advent of Kamui (in both eyes at the same time! nice). So Kakashi got this skill ages ago... and what's this? Obito skipped the three-tomoe stage...? Haha.
Last edited by Kamex; 10th October 2012 at 5:43 AM.
Wow talk about random jumps in power. Hey lets give Obito Mangekyo Sharingan and Mokuton at the same time. Lets also make lots of action scenes to hide the BS going on behind the scenes during the chapter.

Answer to all the bad things in the world: Give up on trying to make everything better. Hence, accepting it for what it is. YOLO! <- Click the link and daw.. -.-
I was shocked at the pool of blood, never expected something that graphic.
First off, death is a major trigger for people, especially if it's death from the result of killing, and if that killing is by your best friend, and you witness that killing. More over, Obito's life hasn't been that great since his "death". Madara most likely is manipulating him, feeding him stuff about the world being ****. Obito probably didn't have anyone to pick his spirits up after Rin died, instead Madara probably put more negative thoughts in his head, eventually, he was going to lose himself and become "Tobi".
It's not just because Rin died, but it clearly was what set him off, and that's perfectly fine since it happens a lot in fiction, and in real life. Death isn't that easy for people to handle.
3DS Friend Code: 3153-4608-8374
Friend Safari: Steel(Ferroseed, Forretress, and Bronzong)
Wow, Obito losing it was awesome. It's a real shame "Tobi" never fought like that. Would much have enjoyed him using Mokuton in addition to Kamui then solely Kamui. The only bad thing about this chapter is that it didn't answer any questions. That and now Kakashi was recon as having MS for 15~ years instead of awakening it during the time skip. The Kiri ninjas also mention the Bloody Mist, which means that Madara must already have been in control of their village. Gonna be interesting to see how a bunch of Kiri ninjas killed by Mokuton will get explained. Great chapter.
A soul that cannot be saved drifts and disappears,
In the instant it vanishes, it shines faintly,
Now, it creates a night with a full moon.
Well it's possible that he wasn't aware that he had the power yet, since he passed out.
Perhaps it's impossible for only one of the eyes to gain Mangekyou, either that or Obito and Kakashi getting MS at the same time was just supposed to be a deep and meaningful coincidence.
I wonder if Madara orchestrated this to some extent using his authority as Mizukage. And on another note, I wonder if this event will soon lead to Obito becoming the true Mizukage, since Kisame recognized him a while back. But I guess we still need to figure out how Tobi and/or Madara were able to do all the things they've done at the times they've done them.The Kiri ninjas also mention the Bloody Mist, which means that Madara must already have been in control of their village.
3DS code:1048-8163-5480"I already told you, I don't mind playing the bad guy every once in a while."~ Sonic the Hedgehog
- So we start off with the deathly blow again. Kakashi looks sullen, so we know it's him.
- That close-up of Obito is drawn horribly.
- Oh, I get it now. So we essentially have an explanation. Kiri wants Rin for some reason, so Kakashi kills her so that they don't accomplish their goal.
- MS formation.
- Okay, I guess I'll look at a massacre.
- This is really brutal.
- Ha, I love the page with the branches surrounding the moon. I didn't even notice the bodies at first.
- This will definitely be censored to hell. So much blood.
- Uhh, where's Kakashi's body?
Not sure how I feel about this chapter. It answered some more questions, which I liked. I suppose I disliked the fight scene because I couldn't follow it. It will probably be better animated. I also didn't like Zetsu's weird cheering, but it seems like he's reacting to Obito angrily using his power.
Obito freaking out at Rin's death was wow! I didn't know he had it in him. It's kinda funny in a dark sort of way that he killed everyone minus the guy that actually killed Rin. I figured this was how Kakashi got his M-Sharingan. How else? This was a pretty good chapter I guess. Not a lot of talking just violence, blood and a dead Rin. From the sounds of things Rin was probably under some spell by the enemy and was going to spill Konoha's secrets maybe? Or maybe she really was a spy, or maybe she stole something from the enemy and they wanted it back and she like, I don't know swallowed it. That doesn't explain Kakashi chidoring her though, since a simple stomach pump no justu would do. We'll find out soon enough but it's to bad for Obito. He watched his world die before him. Poor guy. I would say Edo Tensei her but I'm sure there's something in the way of that simple outcome. Good chapter.
Parena or Serecham both equal Serena+Pancham!

RachelWill It Work In France?France is not on the list of places it will work...is that true or just an oversight?Reply to this postFeb 3, 2012Link to this post
MariTennessee, USAType C V. Type E PlugsIt is not an oversight. In a nutshell, yes you could use the type C plug in France. However, I would not recommend it. The type E plug is the standard plug for France and a few other European countries. The type C plug can adapt to an type E outlet due to a slight difference in design. The main difference b/t the two plugs is that type E has a hole (in addition to the 2 round prongs) for the standard french socket which has a grounding pin (like a prong that goes into your plug), whereas type C does not, it just has two round pins and no hole.
The purpose of the grounding pin is to distribute the electricity evenly and safely by preventing electrical shock. I don't know much more about how it prevents electrical shock but certain products that don't use a lot of amps are suitable for interchanging b/t plugs. I don't know where this product falls in regards to amp usage, which is why overall I would recommend to get the type E if your permanent destination is France.
Folica sells both, you can look at the pics online to see the difference and google type c and type e sockets to see how each fits into the outlet. I bought the type E for Belgium and it fit my outlets, even when I traveled in France. hope this helps.
Going back soon, but I have lived in Belgium for a few months and have traveled in France and the French overseas territories. The voltage issue is a drag.Mar 15, 2012Link to this post
