Naw. Far as I can tell, the ones here are the cheap stuff for export to 'other
places'.

Same here.  They sent a flyer with 'summer school' (wel laced that this isnt
remedial but obviously is for that purpose) but it's only at Hario 40 miles
away and 'no transportation'.  Cant do it as I'm at sea all that time.

Peach cobbler? I've had that once or twice. Not a major fan though.

On SANs, you would probably be bored. Truth is this would be a dream vacation
for me and Steve, if given the option, would love it I am sure.  Major GEEK
stuff all 24/7 going on. Very little else going on.  If there was good food
too, I was too busy to notice what I was eating.

Don's got a mouth infection and if the antibiotics dont fix it, we mayu be gone
really fast to a relatively local area (Okinawa or Yokosuka) to get it worked
on. Bad teeth is all it is.
