Dennis is MIA again, so we'll get back to you on these.

Peter's car is in SOCAL near Palm Springs but maybe we can work out some free 
transportation if we get them to Reno and then to the bay area or SOCAL and then 
to Peter???

Anyway, it looks like there are a couple different ways to go here so after DaWg 
wakes up, we'll get back to you guys.  There are more choices around than I 
thought (which is a good thing for Peter).

Thanks,

John
