I suspect our styles aren't that dissimilar...  ;)  I tend to only stop
for gas (will make any pit stop then), and otherwise not stop until I
get to my destination for that day's travel... Nibbling (and sipping)
makes it more likely that I won't need any other stops... Also makes it
less likely that I'll get carsick...

Never checked the hours here...  T-day and/or Christmas are likely to
find us at Fu's...  ;)

That we do...  Dunno if the not getting out from Shenk's was her fault
or just that Docs wasn't getting things in...  And, for the moment, Docs
is reachable by telnet using bbs.docsplace.org; and I managed to deliver
a packet via web...  Hopefully things will straighten around and fly
right again... for a while anyway...  ;)

Kinda wish that the script kiddies would just lose interest and leave us
be.... :)
