Hi Dave--

For IP if you choose. Lancaster is just up the road from Baltimore where we live; we frequently do a day trip to buy Amish products. I think this has definite racist overtones as there has been a tremendous growth in the Hispanic population due to demand for farm and construction workers--but that's speculation. Anyway, it worries me to have a vigilante group like this watching the streets.

Best regards, I hope GG is feeling well and you two are enjoying the summer!
