If he had retreated back to the village, the guy would have just said, 
"he went back for his torch."  Do you see what I mean?  It's indefinite, 
waiting for war.

If I had said two weeks maybe I should have taken the original bet of 
one hundred dollars.

I wasn't really on top of my shit.  I was behind the curve so to speak. 
Evidently some people were fooled by Putin's ruse at the border for a 
couple weeks or a month.

I gave him two envelopes at two different times, one with $10 and the 
other with $15.
