Nice, NY is nice that time of the year. A little chilly, but you won't have to worry tooo much about snow

You know what neighborhood you'll be staying in?

I might be in NY for a weekend visiting the folks in March, depending on the week (going to be in Seattle for part of March), let's see if we can meet up

[Simon]

I'm going to spend some time in Manhattan, where I have no idea yet? I'm also going to visit friends for a few days in Crouton on Hudson. A meet up would be good if timings match

frankly it's a rip off . . . they've pretty much cornered the market. i was lucky to get the master collection through the business at a hefty discount otherwise i wouldn't even look at it (could buy the IH master collection for the same money)

there are alternatives - Corel, Xara which are actually better in some areas

My sister was denied entry into the JET program.  Now, I can't visit her there. Bummer.

[Beatle]

nah, I could never convert to Corel or Xara, that would be like giving up IH jeans and walking around in GAP denim

I met a dude in full camo today just going into the bush.  He had the scariest cross bow contraption I have ever seen and the tips to the arrows - well they scared the shit out of me too.  When I tentatively pointed at one of the arrow tips, his answer, "Oh yes, that'll stop anything up to a large Bok dead in it's tracks" - A large Bok is bigger than a large cow - holy shit….............

[Geo]

. . . I suppose there'd be an awful lot of dead boks if you had the crossbow given your current state deprived of nicotine

[Giles]

There'd be an awful lot of dead everything…............................

Sonic drive ins are in basically every town in Texas and they sell tater tots (deep fried, of course).  I love that place.

On a related note, anyone who doesn't love fresh hot french fries has a shriveled up raisin for a soul.

On another related note, Well done fries from IN-N-Out are super awesome. They cook it so it's sorta crunchy and never soft.

If you come to the West Coast you should check them out!

Looks like a double-double "animal" style?  I've chomped a few 3x3's and 4x4's that way.  Glad to have these big glommits…
