Larry, As always, your eloquence is inspiring, but I have to say I can't go far without the meals. Though I skimp on breakfast, the remainder of the day I must eat. As to hotels, getting paid to stop their outsides from leaking water to the insides keeps me in meals, and makes occasional work a pleasure. The only poll I can afford is to poll BP. And if anyone here expects to be paid staff on my residential campaign, dream on. But it is an interesting idea and if I ever manage to feel that I am living in a community again I will remember your encouragement. The only geographic community I feel strongly a part of is the commuter's hammer lane on the LIE. In the mean time, Twybill is a good candidate with a very fine sense of place and I believe he does own a tie -- just don't go in a canoe with him! -- ][<en Follett SOS Gab & Eti -- http://www.geocities.com/~orgrease Bullamanka-Pinheads website http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/CGI/wa.exe?A0=bullamanka-pinheads
