Well, Asa Jay, if they will fly them I'll buy them :-) After all the fun I've
had at SSCC races a few hundred $ donation would really be minor :-)
Off to work in Las Vegas for ~2 weeks tomorrow, followed by Christmas perhaps in
Sacramento with family and then New Years day flight to Nairobi Kenya - gotta
love my job :-)
Happy Holidays everyone!
