Buffett came and sat in with us the other night in Chicago. That was fun. He and I played 'A Pirate Looks at Forty,' one of his songs. We actually know each other pretty well now.

We are deploying resources to house our new citizens and to ease their suffering.

Most of the guys here play college hockey and we get it every time from the student sections so it's something that should be expected.

They were just people who loved being out in nature all the time,

This is game we came here to play.

I liked (Wednesday) when we did Mongolia because we got to make llamas and paint them and put fur on them.
