Tony was in that race; it was a chance to see his capabilities. He won that race with no difficulties. It was the second heat. We all lined up to star...; the coach raised the starting pistol. “On your marks, get set, go!” Bang! As I went past the finish line, I noticed there were only two other racers behind me. I finished sixth; that did not even qualify me for the finals.I was walking back to my bench to have a little rest before my next race. I was sitting there just gazing into space when I. " I remember, Sammi." I wished he'd stop grinning at me like he was.It made me nervous. "This is almost too easy. I wish you wouldn'tthink of me as a sneaky, selfish, conniving, mean and evil, rottento the core, slimy damn bastard."I stared at the Master. I was going hate bursting his bubble - no Iwasn't - but he couldn't make that wish. It was a clear violation ofthe collective bargaining agreement. HIBGEPUU had make certain thatproviso was added when the Masters had added theirs. The minds. I did have the look of a twenty-first century Fred Flinstone about me. I glanced at the clock on the bedside table. It had just gone five and the world outside was bathed in a lovely orange glow as the sun set slowly in the west behind a layer of clouds.Time for a quick shower and a shave. On the bed were clean underwear - check, a clean shirt - check, and a pair of freshly laundered socks - check. I was finally good to go.I glanced over at the bungalow across the way and wondered what Ruth was. " I suggested."I will go arrange for one to be flown in this afternoon." stated Rob."How much gold is being recovered? Is it worth our hauling it over and running it through the processor?" Surprisingly it is. If we were doing it a business venture, I wouldn't bother, since we are only getting a quarter to a third of what we get normally. But since we need to separate the gravel anyway, I don't feel that's a problem at all." No it is not a problem. At least we are making some money while we are.
