Greeting and happy new year from CA.  Your new year has already 
started there! Hey if you can get audio books there from our 
library system, look for A Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson.  
He's an American author who writes great travel books and other 
kinds as well.  Very humorous and interesting stuff.  Would like 
to know your perspective about his perception of Australia which 
are quite positive by the way except about all the deadly 
critters that can kill you in various parts of the country.  
Anyway best 73, and happy new year! Jim WA6EKS
