Hi Ruth,

-> There's a lot to keep us busy here in Savannah; we're going caroling via
-> trolley with the church next week.

 RH> K00L!  My dad was a 40 year member of the local trolley museum.


Alas, this is one of those tourist trolleys--built on a bus base so it's
not the real thing. Steve has a cold now so I'm not sure if we'll be
going tomorrow night or not.

-> Trouble is, not everybody has the sense to respect a SAW.

 RH> That kind can be taken care of with the application of a SAW.  Of
 RH> course, it's a little tough on the surroundings....

Depends on if it's set for single shot or burst.

-> Twenty is the minimum retirement with benefits level, tho about 15 years

 RH> My cousin did his 20 in the Air Force.  He's been working for the VA
 RH> ever since.

We've got other job plans.

-> original plan was 4 years only, then thought we'd do 20, now we're going
-> for 26.  Unless something changes, Steve can't hit 30.

 RH> Close enough.

Yes, still a nice bit of change in the pocket.


-> If there's a local option, I'll take that.  We've not yet found a Korean
-> hole in the wall place like we had every place we looked in HI. sigh!

 RH> Oh dear.  Well, you'll find country southern holes in the wall
 RH> instead. Around here it's Jamaican.

But we want Korean every so often.  There's one place we've seen but not
tried yet; looks a bit more upscale than the hole in the wall places we
went to in HI.

->  RH> None that I've ever seen.

-> Check the 'net?

 RH> Yep - and there are a few around, but none in places I have any other
 RH> reason to go.

But if you want the truck bad enough, you'll go?

->  RH> A Yankee, not a NY Yankee which is a contradiction in terms. Real
->  RH> Yankees live in New England.  NY Yankees come out of the primordial
->  RH> ooze and
->  RH> surface in the Bronx.
 RH> ->
-> And a water retaining Yankee is one who moves down south.  I've lived
-> south of the Mason-Dixon line longer than I lived north of it but still
-> don't officially qualify as a southerner.

 RH> Nope - even if you'd moved at birth you'd still be considered a
 RH> Northerner in some places.

Takes 3 generations.  If we had, then Rachel & David had stayed in the
south, Robert would be considered a southerner. Least wise, that's what
a (native) of North Carolina told us.

-> I know, I know----and, since I'm not in HI, I'll keep my mouth shut.
-> But I'm not the only one of that persuasion.

 RH> Poi - Hawaii's answer to turnips!

Now I like turnips!  More like flavored library paste!
