CK - to remind you, and so you can practice in your dreams before you get here.

Omigod. Never going north of Coventry ever again. Never. No!

Seldom better illustrated than by Albert Einstein, when said: "If the relativity theory will be proven true, the Germans will say I am a German, the Swiss I am a Swiss and the French that I am a great man. If not, the Germans will call me Swiss, the Swiss will call me German, and the French will say I am a Jew."

And, in relative terms, he was probably right!

Let me rephrase that: his parents, uncles, and awnts all thought he was probably right.

Rod-- that is scary looking (Spaghetti juction) The Bruckner Interchange is just about as bad-- i couldn't find an aerial photo-- but the map give a rough idea-- and as bad as this is, where I-95 meets I-91 in Hartford CT is worse i think-- since it has several sudden (1/4 mile warning) Left hand exits.. But if you have ever rented a car from one ot the NY airports and drive up to big blue-- you'll have passed through at least part of it.. both the white stone and throgs neck bridge feed into the interchange..

Just read an adulatory blurb for a new movie, A Knight's Tale, I think, starring the "new Aussie hunk" with the improbable name of Heath Ledger. (Sounds like what you get if you cross Heathcliff with Jacob Marley.) Who has ever heard of this guy? Any of the Aussie members know about him? Is the movie likely to be any good?

In a city near where I live is a road that all the locals call "The Penetrator". Just try and find a street sign for that one. Ask for directions and all you'll hear is "Take the Penetrator...." Arggggghhhhh! It is a straightforward, quick and "Wham, Bam, Thank you Ma'am" way to get from one side of the city to the other, I must admit. What is the real name? [shrug-e]
