How many essays so far?

Since I’m sure I’m going to be chosen [grin] I’d like to get started on travel arrangements. Any idea when “shortly” will arrive?

Jim I: With only 400 words, we don’t have to worry about Dan Petit winning, as I don’t think he could type his name in under 400 words……Just Kidding Dan!!!!I am already starting to work on my entry.And I don’t care how busy I am, if chosen, I will be there for a test drive!!!!!Good work Lyle!!!!   

LOL!!!
Hey JimI and everyone! Had to speed read the previous posts in quicktime within this 15 minute window here at the library. (am attempting to set up Linux, as the scanner software is in Linux) (and, still have about 28 more shops to update). Have been missing everyone.

I could strenuously get it down to 400 words, Promise!!

Am extremely thankful for the record business these last four weeks. it may accelerate my situation for possibly an upgraded Volt if the opportunity arises.

have only a minute left.
have to close.
this time limit is really good practice in brevity!!LOL!!

Talk to everyone later,
take care.
Dan.
