Especially in these times, when what’s true at 10 AM is only a distant memory at 3 PM. That's really the way it is, it's unbelievable the changes right now.

I was in an IRS audit almost 25 years ago, and upon being told 'Mr. Brown, this will end it for you on a good note if you can produce this document,' my CPA immediately asked her to put it in writing. The audit finished up only a couple hours later. :) Rob Dawg — I can’t improve on that.

I said "put it in writing." "What? Put what in writing?" "This will be the last thing you ask for. " Now understand, the staffers that spend their careers squeezing out one more thing got their job because the last guy put something in writing. And that guy got his job when his antecedent bother the boss with some unimportant ephemera. So, the 'one more thing' was never delivered, never asked for again and never needed and the loan closed sooner as a result. I don't know where it fits in your 'laws' but: Educators, bank underlings and civil servants cannot put anything in writing, cannot admit to that and will jump through hoops rather than press the issue. BTW my first impression of Seattle is favorable. Holes in the PNW fence perhaps?
