Swans on Thunersee, Switzerland.

I’m also interested in a hat. I will PM you. Thanks.

Please do not wait on this. Some things about Medicare, particularly supplemental benefits cannot be changed at a later date. It is a convoluted mess. Do not count on all the Advantage programs to give you accurate information. Likewise, do not count on supplemental insurance companies to give...

Happy Birthday Snapper and Stripperguy. Wishing you many more years of great paddling.
