OldGreyEagle 5 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Sorry guys, I was at a Jethro Tull Concert last night and was too tired to check things out. On the whole, I would have rather been here then there, Ian Anderson can still play the flute, but the music was uninspired. I would have done better blasting my best of Tull tape up to "11" Link to post Share on other sites
Gold Winger 9 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 "Ummm, Adviser, not Advisor." Hmmmm . . . . Venturing has 'advisors' but the OA has 'advisers.' Wonder why? Link to post Share on other sites
ManyIrons 10 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Since they're alternate spellings for each other I'd guess it's due to the preference of the author. What I'm wondering about is why one lodge in PA apparently requires candidates to be at least 13. Oh well I guess they kind of make up for it by only requiring 14 nights of camping instead of 15.
