(who has finally made it to the west coast and is now having fine soup  and 
high-class beer in a pleasant gallery/caf�/theater with free wifi on  Market St 
in SF.  YIPPEE!!!  No more desert!  No more ice,  blowing snow, gusting 
winds, 4-degree weather, or inability to breathe due to  altitude and horribly dry 
air!  Let's hear it for 100% humidity,  60-degree temp, 37-foot elevation!)

Hi Joy,
Yes, ( Humidity !!! ) ,as I sit here ( in the desert  ) whistling through my 
nose,
snuffing up water ( because of the dry air ! :o)
& So glad you stopped by on your way !
So good to meet you, & I hope we'll
see each other in the near future !!
PS: are you sure it's your radio?
It could be emanations from the Bay Area !!!
I'm still hearing Quicksilver Messenger Service
from my Silver Tooth Fillings !!!
& have ever since 1969 !!!! ;o)
Happy Holidays !!!!
