Very informative.

I take it hat the Breaking Away movie you mentioned is the cycling movie. You don't happen to have a DVD copy of it do oyu? I've heard so much about it but never seen it.

I note that you only take your holies on islands? Could we read something into this?

Rodney - yes, the cycling movie but, I'm sorry, I don't have a copy. It's been a while since I've seen it.

Slatz - I have been known to take hols else, but I could sense a theme developing.

LA? You lived in LA?

Cool! Thx for that.
You have had some interesting jobs. I love weather so that qualifies. I guess standing by the road with a clicker thing might not carry the same excitement :-)
It looks a bit like that sesame street song ('3 of these things belong together') for the places you have lived: Gogo station, Freo, I presume you also lived at Shay Gap once. But then LA! Seems pretty random.
Thx again.
