I envy all you across the Atlantic. On this side of the big shining water we're

As loners, Ramdoves are ineffective in making intelligent decisions, but in
groups or wings or squadrons or whatever term is used, they respond with an
esprit de corps, precision, and, above all, a ruthlessness...not hatefulness,
that implies a wide ranging emotional pattern, just a blind, unemotional
devotion to doing the job.....
