Ah, fair point... 12,000 miles is a good insulator. However, as our Summer

is now regretfully drawing to a close, I may be heading that way again 
soon... It will be good to see some of the changes since I was last there,

and to catch up with old friends. I think my "career" is nearly over and 
this will be the last time, so I'll try to enjoy it as much as possible.

Must pick up some work boots... :-)

Pete.
