Ruppert was the most popular survivor ever. I am an obnoxious smart ass, no way I can ever be as popular as him.

My first first plug is always my website www.icetent.com where I indulge in shameless self promotion. After that it is my wife and son.

There is also my friend Hannah that at this moment is crossing the 769 kilometers between land and the North Pole, alone and unsupported. If she makes it she will be the third human and first woman to do it. http://www.humanedgetech.com/expedition/hannah7/

Then I have several charities like

Smiling Kids http://smilingkidsinc.org/ started by a friend

Teen Empowerment http://www.teenempowerment.org/ started by my cousin

Walpole Scholarship Foundation http://www.walpole.ma.us/wsf.htm where there is a scholarship started by my wife.

Dana Farber Marathon Challenge
https://www.kintera.org/faf/home/ccp...5656&ccp=74010 where every year someone runs in my sons memory.

If I ever get the chance to put in a plug to a large audience you can bet the farm it will not be about speed limits on Winnipesaukee. In the great scheme of things, it's just not that important.

Thanks for the chance to plug the above.

I am kidding of course on the above comment. Although we don't always agree on our points of view I admire your change of direction in life and the adventures that you have taken on since. I have never followed Survivor but if you were on it, I would tune in.

I'm not sure I can agree with you on this one. I can not tell if you are smart.

I'm not talking about promoting speed limits on a Good Morning America or Live with Regis and Kelly or other similar programs. I'm talking about NH speed limit specific interviews. Should a radio or TV station or newspaper reporter contact you for an interview regarding speed limits, you want us to believe that you would refuse to talk to them about speed limits? I'm not sure I'm buying that one either.

Finally something we can both agree on. You spend a lot of time and energy advocating for the need for speed limits for something that's just not that important in the great scheme of things.

I was wondering when BI might find out the verdict on Survivor?

Good Luck, I sincerely hope you get on the show. Regardless of our differences of opinions on one issue I am certain you would add to the show in a positive way.
