Hi Nancy,

I've suggested names for some but Steve hasn't gone along with them.
Mostly because they're too outrageous, like the Dodge Omni I said should
be named Allis (Latin & German for all). However, the late, unlamented
Focus has, since we replaced, it, been known as the Out of Focus.

Yes, so we got to use a company truck--full sized pick up rig.

 RH> Quite so! Really got our money's worth.

 NB> And good tasting as well... ;)

 RH> We went back on the 14th--spent the previous night in Charlotte with

 NB> A little sooner than expected... (G)  But a known winner, so a

The GPS routed us a block away when we left the dealer. This time I
tried the green slaw; it was better than the red, IMO, but I guess the
red is as common as the green in that part of NC.

 NB>  NB>> So now you have your RV... :)   When do you set out on your
 NB> trip...?

 RH> On the road now.

 NB> Right... as the date on your reply here is the 21st...  :)  So, if I'm
 NB> figuring right, you left on the trip on the 13th... :)

Correct, and we got back home about 12:30 am on January 5th. I'm
chipping away at both newspapers and Fido, trying to get caught up on
both in a reasonable time.
