Hi Hap,

-> I think it's common most anywhere for some one or thing small, no matter
-> what part of the country.

 hn> I had a friend who's nickname as a child was
 hn> spud...his parents said tha't because he looked
 hn> like a potato as a baby! He liked it as well as
 hn> he was the only one he (or I) knew who had
 hn> such a singular nickname...

It is rather unique.  I guess it could have been worse.

 hn> Oh
 hn> by the way, he wanted to grow
 hn> up to be a TV common-tater (groannnn)!

Better that than an agi-tater or on a schulls team where he'd be a
row-tater.  We've got a lil sweet tater in Sarah.

-> Air conditioning or evaporative coolers.  The latter work well in very
-> low humidity areas.

 hn> I have a friend in the Bisbee area and would really
 hn> enjoy visiting there again...maybe in the springtime
 hn> when the wildflowers are blooming!

It is nice there in spring.  There are occaisional hot days in April
but it doesn't get that hot until mid May or so.  Even that's relatve;
that area is cooler than Phoenix or even Tucson.  For flower pictures,
figure March to early April for most of them.

->  hn> Stephen get off alright?

-> Both planes had trouble, delaying the flights.  First one was a problem
-> Then his luggage (1 bag) came in on a later flight from Atlanta to
-> couldn't wait so took Steve home. He picked up the car & went back as he
-> didn't want to wait for them to deliver it.)  Rachel had fixed him a
-> sandwich the night before; he took that, a banana & a power bar for
-> eats; said the snack & drink cart only came around once so he was glad

 hn> Seems that they enjoy treating the
 hn> customers worse and worse...unless
 hn> you're in First Class you're in steerage.

Isn't it the truth?  I'd not had enough time between flights to grab
anything in Atlanta on my way out so paid $6.00 for a box of 3 different
kinds of cheese (a smoked [Cambaet?] was really good, others so-so.),
some crackers and grapes.  On the way back I'll have a couple of hours
between so I'll get some supper in Atlanta.

 hn> Had Stephen considered looking at
 hn> hops from Nellis to either Hunter or
 hn> Charleston?

I don't think there are any hops into Hunter.  Just asked my son in law
and he says that hops are available from Charleston to Nellis. It is
something to look in to but Steve hasn't been comfortable trying them
while on active duty.  Too easy to get stuck some where eithr burning up
leave trying to get out or spending mega bucks for a commercial ticket
on short notice to get back before the leave expires.  Once he's retired
and out of school, we may try to travel that way a bit.
