New month, new tasks. Did some work on the Freeport 6 contract. Had an interesting encounter in Callifornia with a Lane Hacker patrol - certain mr. Krimmler /in a Scimitar light fighter no less/. He was particularly inquisitive about my routes and cargo, but since at the time I was loaded with pineals for Erie, I got off easy. The gentleman offered his escort services for a small fee /well, that's how he put it, he he/, and I decided not to complicate things and accepted. Used the Penny JH in Calli by the way - I strongly dislike entering New York lately.

<span style="color:#FFFF33">"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."</span>
