Man Juan, you're killin' me with that picture with the Palm trees. It's been pretty nice (finally) here in Oregon, but it's supposed to SNOW tonight.

If I wasn't stuck here with two houses not sold, that's the kind of mission trip I'd like to take - but I agree with Nipper - probably around January.

Good luck with the house project and don't hesitate to ask for advice - there's a bunch of guys here who know about that stuff.

And thanks for your kind words about the old USA. We've definitely got some problems, but most of us, on both sides of the isle do love it.
