HEL-lo. As I'm reading this, I'm trying to figure if there's any way I could fit this into my already over-extended schedule. Seriously, any Wonketeers out there who aren't already committed to forty-'leven groups and projects with a smidge of free time should consider walking the talk. Our country needs you.

Well, they're signing up, but will they actually show up? People who constantly complain about what's happening rarely accept the hard job of working to improve it.

I doubt a motorbike could tow an artillery piece. Small AT or ADA perhaps?
