I'm joining a group of freedom fighters.
This will not come as a great shock to those of you who know me well, but I have made the monumental decision to leave retirement for a few years. There are a number of reasons, but the major contributor to my decision has been my involvement with a guerrilla group in Bolivia, who are fighting for freedom and justice against unbelievable odds. I have been communicating with this group for several months, and now, finally I will join them.
I know most of you will think I am totally crazy, but I have not made this decision lightly. Nothing you can say or do will stop me doing what I truly believe in. I hope to see you again when the battle is won.....In spirit and unity. Oh, enclosed is a picture of my intrepid comrades. It has been edited to protect their identities.

4. It's probably less dangerous than
being where you are now. I heard today that BP is still leaking benzene...at least onsite. The investigators can't go in...but the public should be just fine!

all of that nasty stuff. Not pleasant when things go wrong.
