Hi Michael,

 RH> Sounds like you meant the commissary but wrote PX--a common mistake
 RH> for those not familiar with what's what.

 ML> Probably. In addition, all these experiences took place in
 ML> my childhood, a goodly long time ago.

So understandable why the uncertanty of where you went.

 ML> idea why I was carpooling, the destination, or the other
 ML> people involved. All I recall is there was a mom not my own
 ML> and some other kids.
 RH> Another strange adventure. (G)

 ML> There were many, some pleasant, some not so. These were
 ML> pretty neutral.

AKA life as you experienced it.


 RH> Shopettes have a bit of the PX, bit of the commissary. Good if you
 RH> want to grab a loaf of bread & gallon of milk without having to go to
 RH> the commissary. Not good if you want to buy groceries for the family
 RH> and intend to do "real" (instead of microwave heat & eat) cooking.

 ML> Back then, microwave cooking was a rarity, and products
 ML> designed for the purpose were nonexistent. Lots of
 ML> canned goods.

Now a lot of microwaveable things, heavy on the carbs and calories, Not
so many canned goods, but still a fair amount for the times a microwave
isn't available.


 RH> And, not having other tie downs, allows you to wander the world.

 ML> I have been very lucky.

I'd say fortunate but whatever word, you've experienced it.


 RH> Oddly so, it seems. Steve was able to call yesterday, got an
 RH> appointment for today, for a visual screening he needed. He has a road
 RH> test Friday, then we'll see how long it takes NC-DMV to act on
 RH> restoring his driving priviledges.
 ML> Cool. Let us know. I presume your attendance at the picnic
 ML> depends on this?
 RH> Yes, if he can't drive, we can't come to the picnic. He's going to
 RH> call NC-DMV tomorrow to try and get a definitive answer.

 ML> OK, let us know soon.

Got the verbal OK Monday so has been behind the wheel several times
since. Barring any family emergency, we'll be in MD for most of the
activities, missing the first day and some of the second tho.
