If you want to hang out down in Arizona I'd be happy to loan you the keys to the house in Black Canyon City - although I think that may be a bit more than you'd like - maybe visiting someone in Phoenix would make more sense. Davis has an Amtrak station, the most excellent Capitol Corridor train runs between Sacramento and San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose so you can visit lots of LUGers from Doug Herr to Brian! I'd enjoy meeting and entertaining any LUGer visiting this area. Adam Bridge On 5/1/07, Philippe Orlent <philippe.orlent@pandora.be> wrote: > > > > > Come visit > > > > I will.
