Frank and anyone else going to BM,

Stop by and see me at Burning Man.  We'll be camped on Neptune, somewhere
between 8:00 & 9:00.  We should be real easy to find, just look for the
group of Vanagons and a very strange looking Vanagon based "art car".

BTW: You do know that dogs are not allowed at Burning Man, right?

BTW #2: If anybody with a Vanagon needs anything whilst at BM, please stop
by.  I will have a good selection of spares with me.

Cheers,

Jeff
