Well, I'm about to depart on the final leg of my Holiday Road Trip (a swing through Sonora, Alpine, Big Bend, and West Texas), and it has been fun to be able to keep up with you _ _ lth _ hippies once more, and surprisingly I've had some constructive and fruitful conversations with 'John The Almighty'.  Because this has been so much fun and 'John' can attest to my civility, how's about unblocking my original IP addresses so that I don't have to jump through hoops to get a word or two in?  I still manage (as you undoubtedly can see), but posting from home after work (that's the thing most of us industrious folks do for cash…."which is just as good as money") is so much easier.

Besides, if you guys plan on riding out the winter, it gives me plenty of fresh comedy material to draw from.

Thanks, and Happy Trails.
