bluddy six-day nightmare.

no, you doant.
every year i take a more and more rural route, trying to find some kind
of reality --on the way up-- to see me through the experience to come,
and to beat it out of town --on the way back-- without being followed.

okey, that's settled then:
we'll all 12 hundred of us on this list meet up at Carol's place in early May
for to put the feed bag on (garden-fresh vittles, fresh asparagus, wrenched
from the very clayey bowels of Mother Earth!) and get *down*; unwind after the
'Zoo.
good plan.
best post-'Zoo in future memory, i can see it comming.
>Our gardens and grounds are known for their beauty, particularly in May when
