Hot Diggety-Damn!  What is this?  A consiracy?  Your the second person
to just up and quit there jobs and go on long sojourn across the con-
tinent!  Damn! I wish I had balls to do this.  But, I like getting a
paycheck.  Oh well....I guess I a doomed consumer.  ;)

I didn't have these on the list?  That's it.  I've GOT to update 
that list for VWs only.   I used to have a VWs one but I misplaced

Let me know if you're going to be in the Sacramento, CA area and my wife
and I will house you for a night.  Of course my wife don't mind.  ;)

What a trip!  In three months?  Good Luck....

Cheers!
