"You don't want to hear about it. I swear I will never leave the good ole US of A again! You don't know what you have until you experience what even the best of the better has to offer."
Yeah, right. So, when and where is your next Indiana Jones adventure
gonna be? <g>

Beringer Vineyards in Napa Valley?
At present have no plans of ever again crossing the US border.

When are your doctor appointments? <vbg>
Early next week, I hope. I have one infection that should excite any doc worth his sheepskin. Plus a couple other problems.

BTW, how are those letters coming along? <vbg>
"CHADDAP! :-)"
Say, how about posting some samples of those hieroglyphics produced by the computers over yonder? They were great! I now think I can qualify as an official codebreaker. <g>

Can't find 'em.
For the info of those not in the know, for reasons unknown I couldn't access SI from overseas, Dave would not respond to my pleas (Dave?), and Holly's was the only email addy I could remember. I don't take 'puters to strange countries, so she had to listen to all my travails. You should all thank her mightily that it was her and not you.

sometimes spelled "Izmýr," according to the output of the computers in Turkish Internet cafes and hotels, and sometimes spelled other ways. Hey, when it comes to consistent spelling, Shakespeare has nothin' on 'em!
Tccccch. They seem to have gotten buried in the pile. Those Turkish computers do do weird things though, don't they? :-)
