    that's a darned good start for leon carter. many daily snoozers wonder who else he'll be hiring on, especially if any snoozers go with him. or if he had a contract and the snooze only let him go with the understanding he couldn't steal anyone for at least a year, as they've done with previous ed's in the past.??? ???

    also eager to hear what they're paying. it'll have to be pretty hefty if he expects any snoozers to take the leap of faith with him. 8)
