Hmm. That'll go over like a led zeppelin.

Where can I find the full budget document? I can find a PDF file that ends with page 77, even though its own table of contents lists pages, includung appendices, on pages numbered 80 and up. I can't find any other file that contains the rest.

Keep up the good work. I check your blog every day.

Thanks
