Bingo! Give the man a great, big, fat Cohiba Robusto!!! That's exactly what I'm
describing! Sounds neat, eh?

It would, in fact, be a logistical nightmare! But it would be great fun, would
it not? I may have to sit down with the atlas and figure 5-6 routes from the
different parts of the country.

My sentiments exactly. I, for one, will call the local TV stations when MAA
is due in Knoxpatch.

Well, you know what I think.

The biggest problem I see is deciding on the starting point. As we will want
5-6 groups instead of 10-12, everyone will have to be happy with the starting
points that are decided. Places like, um, Huntington Beach Pier, Chicago, Miami,
Houston, Milwaukee, Seattle and Manhattan. Those from elsewhere could meet in
a city along the way on the chosen interstates and make the group even larger.
It can be done.

Scott and Woody, really ready to roll!
