Arno, Very happy to hear that you made it home safe and sound. I thought of you through out the day yesterday wondering where you might be in your travels. You followed the "s" storm through the Rockies and I encountered much turbulence in the air. Now I am not sure which would have been calmer catching a ride with you or flying!!! I had told Antman I would share with him the experience on the plane...I haven't sent it to him yet, but am feeling that now is a good time to post it. I think you will appreciate this. On the flight between Las Vegas and Kansas City, I was in the middle seat between an older gentleman, and a guy about my age...(ok ok, so he was few years younger..<ggg>) The younger guy and I had been talking and seemed the laughter mode of the trip continued as he and I talked. That is until the pilot turned back on the "fasten seat belt" sign, and expressed that we would be experiencing some turbulence...(agghhhh...panic) Then it happened....we hit an air pocket and the plane dropped. (picture this....) It really startled me, <major blush, even as I type> and I grabbed the guy next to me's leg. <stop the uncontrollable laughing!!> He and the older man laughed and laughed. You can just imagine how much I blushed. I turned to him and said, "I am really sorry, I promise to control myself next time." He didn't stop laughing!! I was soooooooo embarrassed. Before he departed in Chicago we exchanged email addresses, so I guess I had not made a total fool of myself!!! Can't you picture it though??? "Come on Caffiene" the realities of being home huh??? great line!!! Happy Trading today!! Jane
