Congratulations Ron!

Did you buy your 16" scope nine years ago today to celebrate being in Australia 30 years?

Well done Ron! You would think with all that time it would have completely
been obliterated by listening to Aussie vowels, but if it hasn't happened
by now, I guess that means you are not about to completely
shake your original accent any time soon.

Anyway, here's to many anniversaries to come!
