[Leica] Monday mayhem or questionable choices

[Don Dory]

As you know from your years in the US getting your PhD and your sons years
in uni followed by a career in the states the US is amazingly like a fruit
cake.(Analogy intentional)  Even in Manhatten you will find some very
redneck areas and in California once you get off the coast you will find
some very interesting subcultures.

I say this as Austin is about as progressive as you can find in the US.

Do enjoy your visit: I assume to see your son.
