Dan,



The education is well worth it. I seem to get materials more or less on time 
from the ODS. This seems to be a sort of fluke. However, I have been on 
there case about textbooks since day one. I keep on top of things; I get the 
books when I need them.



Someone just has an issue with my dog.
