Officially, you can't diss on anyone... damn it!

I lied above - I did take my flashlite - but my car radio *is* broke. [my biggest fear, though, was that the house would burn down while I was gone, and fry my PIC programmer]. And speaking of hi-tech in the mtns, 2 guys from back east were using GPS to determine the elevation - I looked on the topo map, and got the same value - he, he. And in here CO, they get 911 calls all the time via cell phones from mtn tops, from [you guessed it] lawyers. [hey, Jim, is it OK to diss lawyers on piclist?]. - Dan Michaels -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
