Deb,

Having said that I think diners are lousy restaurants, I feel obligated to
report that there are considerable numbers of people who consider them
(including our local example in Comstockville, which is reported to have a
dirt floor in its cellar, although it was featured in a Super Bowl commercial
for some product that it doesn't sell) to be the ne plus ultra of the dining
experience.  It is my view that these people are, as we say in the
construction industry, full of shit.

Good luck with your taxes.  We are in the process of shifting money around to
pay ours, and applying for an extension, under the direction of The Tax Lady,
She Who Truly Must be Obeyed.

Ralph
