========================
Hullo Michael!

->  -> The newbie is doing well, and phenom Ellsbury seems to be
->  -> waking up, and Ortiz is back, so maybe there's hope.
->  HN> Well we helped last night, Raul Ibanez whacked
->  HN> a walkoff in the bottom of the 9th to give us a 
->  HN> 2-1 win! 
-> 
-> The Dead Sox have been playing like a .500 team lately. I
-> admit they've done well off the wild card position in the
-> past, but this unimpressiveness is rather unimpressive.
->
It's August, when the length of the season begins
to take it's toll...and when depth in the roster shows
it's true value! I've only been able to get wifi when 
we stop for the day (and now here at the lab) so I
have not been keeping track of what's happening.
 
->  -> All I really, really care about is that we end up
->  -> ahead of the Steinbrennerites.
->  HN> Yep, but the rest of the fans are like
->  HN> sharks who've had that taste of blood!
->  HN> they want MORE!!!
-> 
-> And if that "convicted" one weren't the owner, I'd
-> not hate the Bombers quite as much. Of course, all the
-> owners are crooks, but some are worse than others.
-> 
Yep, Some of em are crooks, some are liars
and George is both a crook and a liar!

->  HN> Right now we're in Anderson Calif, about 10 
->  HN> miles south of Redding. Hotel has wifi, and 
->  HN> a good AC unit
-> 
-> If worse came to worst, that's all I'd need: not
-> even a bed! Which makes it less painful for me
-> to overnight in airports sometimes.
-> 
I'm fairly much the same.

->  HN> traffic was light, the high gas prices must
->  HN> be keeping a lot of folks home
-> 
-> I paid $4.18 (filling someone else's tank, of course)
-> ... someone at the picnic said ruefully that it's a
-> sad day when anything south of $4 looks good. There's
-> one place up here in Mass. that has it at $3.50; I
-> figure by election time it'll be $2.50 or so as
-> various parties try to curry favor with the electorate.

Dave Drum recently recommended Gasbuddy.com
and we used that to pick out the best places to 
refuel on our trip south, it saved us anywhere from
$0.05/gal to an amazing $0.20/gal at one stop!
Sadly they did not have any reports for the Sebastopol
or Bodega Bay area...gas here in Bodega bay is over 
$4.29 for regular unleaded...diesel is $5.59!!

Right now I'm sitting in the library at Bodega
Bay Marine Labs, looking out over the foggy
Pacific Ocean, temp 58 degrees....ahhhhhh!
Today when we go to Sebastopol it will be
much warmer (15 miles inland). 
chat with you soon!
