Phil,

The vets checks aren't far apart as the crow files but you can't drive 
every road in fear of getting stuck to the frame in the loose sand. Add 
to that the bombing range right in the middle and it makes getting from 
point A to B a task.

You have it slightly wrong about Jerry. He was having a hard time 
explaining why he was wearing panty hose under his nylon riding tights.

He pitched a fit because they wanted to cut his best pair of panty hose 
so they could put a heart monitor on his ankle.  I don't think the 
doctors cared, but there was one orderly there that really seem to 
"like" men in panty hose.
