It's probably not the coffee, Jim...just a subject I know something about!
I didn't know about Dei-Cas, though, until we acquired the Way Department
files from Port Authority a winter or two back.  I wish I had the time to
put all that interurban stuff in geographical order; it would be so much
easier to find things later.  But that's not how PRCo filed it...they used a
numerical system.

Happy Thanksgiving to all on the list!

Ed

a person on the list!
