All the ones I saw so far were big ugly thinks that need more than the usual 12" center breakthrough, and even come sans motor. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

From: Damon Hill on 5 Jul 2010 17:30 Here in the Pacific Northwet, it's struggling to get into the 60s and sunshine has been a scarce commodity so far this year. That's supposed to change in a big way in a few days--summer at last! There's still over five feet of snow on the ground at Paradise on Mt. Rainier. (Actually, it's compressed slush.) http://www.cascadeclimber.com/web_cams.htm This time last year we were in the upper 90s and set an all-time record high of 102F. So I'm not complaining. I rather like Hebrew Nation brand dogs, but the best hot dog I ever had were Kominski Park. --Damon Make mine Kosher.

So it is warm in NY. Ed

If you ever have to do the whole I-5 stretch, it's the Black Bear Diner in Willows (between Redding and Sacramento). Li'l mom and pop place, very small village, everyone seemed to know everyone else there. $7.99, still drooling ... -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.
