Give me time, Jim.   Give me time.   Right now I'm getting ready to  
drive to Vancouver to take the cruise to Alaska.    Then I've got  
Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia in mind for next  
year.   And I've seen this great 21 day tour to China for just $5,100  
that is tantalizing me.   And you can't do it all at once.

What's the big draw about Moroccan food?   Well, its sort of like  
being a railfan Jim.   Humus on pieta bread is pretty good stuff.    
For those who understand, no explanation is needed.   For those who  
don't understand, no explanation is possible.

I didn't find the grid lock in 2004 but then when you've never really  
experienced gridlock, you don't know what gridlock really is.   You  
need to live in Washington DC or midtown Manhattan to understand  
gridlock.    I remember people complaining vociferously in the  
Marietta (Ohio Times editorial page about traffic delays in the rush  
hour during the construction of the Putnam Street Bridge.   Those  
poor folks were forced to drive four blocks up to Washington Street  
to cross the other bridge for a year.   And they were suffering  
abominable delays in a city of 15,000 people!    Perception is  
reality.   If you've never been outside of Moose Jaw, Sask., you  
don't understand San Francisco.
