>>Hello Paula;

>>bees and the ants, and wondering what all we are doing.
>>
>>Here in the USA, California to be precise, we are having a heat wave also.
>>This will be the second one in a month, but is expected to be smaller in
>>duration than the first one.
>>
>>The Ozone-generator on my new (6 months old) hot-tub broke, so I'm fixing
>>that. I'm looking around for a 220 mobile that I can add to my packet
>>BBS here (GVCITY node) to do more forwarding on.
>>
>>The YL got a new(er) Toyota RAV4, so I stripped all the radio gear out
>>of the old van, and the van goes to the bone yard this Saturday.
>>
>>Just looking to stay as cool as I can during the days. Drinks, shade, AC,
>etc.
>>
>>I do miss you terribly. I switched to JNOS on linux and turned off my
>>old PZT run dos machine, but I just can't bring myself to throw it out.
>>I keep saying there has got to be some hill-top vault somewhere just in
>>need of a packet station.
>>
>>Take care of your health (I worry). And don't forget to stop and smell
>>those lovely flowers you see from time-to-time.
>>
>>Cheers from the U.S.
