Nancy,

NB>Slowly catching up, myself... and I saw the notice that you'd had your
NB>power taken out by the storms in your area... hope you are back sooner
NB>than the estimate...

  This was NOT my idea of a vacation. I ended up CANCELLING the train
trip to Albuquerque, due to cost. The insurance company dawdled around
(it's a catastrophe if they have to pay a claim), and they felt that
"since there was running water and no other damage, the structure was
livable". I want to know how they can consider living in a place with
apparent temperatures over 100 degrees as livable?? People DIE in
conditions like that each year.

NB>That sounds like it was mostly a win-win-win situation... :)

  I use an application called "I Drive Arkansas" (they also have a
website, as so similar states). At a glance, you can see traffic flow,
road conditions, construction zones, road closures, incidents (vehicle
accidents), weather information, and more. Then, you can take an
alternate route if needed.

NB>Naah... not scary at all... Joe sent me the copy in email.. :)  Always
NB>nice to be able to put a face to someone one's known for years in this
NB>medium...  ;)

  What's funny is that you make a mental image of people you talk to
online, or even over ham radio. Then, when you meet them in person, they
don't look at all like you envisioned. I'll always remember your comment
to my tagline post of "I took an IQ test, and the results were
negative"...you replied "That explains a lot. <g,d,r>". :)

  I miss the old BBS user and Sysop gatherings from years ago.

NB>... A wok is what you throw at a wabbit.

  How do you catch a unique rabbit?? Unique up on him.

  How do you catch a tame rabbit?? Tame way.

Daryl
