Good morning Ladies & gentlemen: I fail to see why there is a problem with Jim? So far I would rate him as extremely high in dedication and efficiency, especially under the conditions that he is working under??

Believe me, from experience, when you are starting up a mill / mine, you seldom get 6 hrs of sleep. You take all of the day's problems to bed with you, plus tomorrow's . You wake up about 2:30 / 3:00 and find yourself going over, and over on them., generally reaching conclusions that have no validity the next morning. sigh. Then again ???

However, I do believe that we shall have to indoctrinate him into enjoying the local food, well, at least eating it, somehow a peanut diet just dosn't hack it with me. The local food must be healthy or the locals couldn't work the mine, right?

Ok, ok, when you spring that latent cup of coffee, I will be more lenient with you Jim, now get back to work. I need new shoes for my Mule.
