say you learn something new every day and I say there's a lesson to be
learned from our friend Ray "Mr. Instinct" Kowalski in each of CKR's Due
South episodes. So, here's my little list of lessons which will continue
to grow as I come across more. If you know of any that you think
should be on this list, please email
it to me and I'll gladly add it. Thank you kindly!
