Bob,
I hate politics, there’s two things that are sure to destroy mankind, one is religion and the other is politics (mixture of both). A school teacher told me many years ago, never argue about politics or religion as nobody ever wins. You can see this by the state of the World today.
Perhaps if I had saved my money on molds and living the dream (or nightmare, depends on your perspective) of having a fishing related business I would have enough money to move to AZ, sure sounds like an idyllic place.
Anyway off subject, I would still get a signed agreement for what it’s worth. Like a patent, it’s only as good as the money you have to defend it.
Mr.C
