And you're right, I don't have all the details of the lease. Yet. I'll get them later this week and get back with you. You seem to be versed in the details of renting.

And to be fair, I will answer your questions (as best I can, because a couple of them have me scratching my head):

Did Woody get his boat back?

Who is Woody, and where is his boat?

Did you know Toppy?

If you're referencing Toppy Hodnett, yes, I knew him well. And I miss him terribly. He was a kind man.

Why is DOJ asking questions about hacking?

Homeland Security maybe? I think its one of the areas they are tasked with policing. Who was hacked, and who is being asked? Watch out for the ebay stuff, and the facebook games. And AOL will never contact you by email (so I'm told).

Why couldn't the powers at LANDS use the over 150 million Berkshire dollars if needed?

I don't know that Russell Lands owned Berkshire stock (As hard as it is to fathom, Ben Russell and Russell Lands are two separate, legal entities. Lands was split off from the Mill when everyone (Ben included) decided Ben wasn't right for the Mill, and the Mill wasn't right for Ben). But if they did own stock, they certainly could have used it. I've been told (I suspect it is true, but I don't have statements to prove it) they borrowed about that much over the past 10 years, so it could be used to offset those loans, if they controlled the proceeds of the sale and if in fact they owned that much Berkshire stock. And, if they haven't already spent it amongst themselves on grist mills, log cabins, surries with fringe on top, ice cream churns, crossroad developments where there never was a crossroad, medieval turrets to play fort within, 37 VPs (to include a VP of VPs), lighthouses, helicopters (where did that go?), swords, cannons, Tallapoosa Stonehenge (versions I through XXIV), and wood powered golf carts. Ben perhaps did personally, and if so, I suspect he could use that money to prop up the company as needed. That's what I would do if I found myself in their position (the position I'm told they are in), but you'll have to ask him/them.

If they answer, and if their lips are moving, I wouldn't personally trust that what you're hearing is the truth.
