Hi Hap,

->  hn> I had a friend who's nickname as a child was
->  hn> spud...his parents said tha't because he looked

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

 hn> LOTS worse!(grin)

->  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.

 hn> Wait till she's 13 and interested in boys! David will
 hn> be pulling his hair out by then!

We're predicting he will do a background check on every boy who looks
at her, as well as keeping his shot gun handy. (G)


->  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> The wildflower bloom in that area is a bit later than in
 hn> some of the other areas of the state. I get reports
 hn> on Arizona wildflower bloomtimes, and Nevada and
 hn> the California desert area.

Bisbee isn't that far from where we used to live on Fort Huachuca.  We
got over there various times, mostly for church related things (pulpit
supply, meetings, etc).  At the time, the Killer Bee Honey Store wasn't
there; we found out about it on the Food Network after we went to HI.
Haven't made it over there in our visits since, just haven't had the
time.

-> anything in Atlanta on my way out so paid $6.00 for a box of 3 different
-> kinds of cheese (a smoked [Cambaret?] 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> We  usually take stuff with us, paying airport
 hn> prices on top of  being treated poorly is a double
 hn> whammy. Plus  I fix better than what they sell!

I'll take something for lunch (have breakfast before leaving the house)
and a couple of snacks but without any refrigeration, I can't take much.
My flight from Atlanta to Savannah gets in at 8; by the time I get my
luggage & out the door, it'll be sort of late.  That's why I intend to
have a light supper in Atlanta, with a light munchie when I get to the
house.


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

-> 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
-> 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.

 hn> There are a lot of "scheduled" flights that go from place to
 hn> place. When I was stationed in Virginia Beach I discovered a
 hn> flight like that from Langely...flew from Langely, to Pope, to
 hn> Shaw, to Hunter, then down to  Florida (McDill, Patrick,
 hn> and Homestead) on Saturday
 hn> and reversed the route on Sunday...and it was a T-39 (lear Jet)
 hn> as well, best rides I ever got! I'd catch the 5 am Saturday flight
 hn> down to Shaw, and catch the 3 pm flight north on Sunday!

That kind of schedule works well if you're young and single; you
probably wouldn't want to do it now.  (G)
