Your eyes are sharper than mine. Which photo were you looking at?

... and other "colorful metaphors" one is unable to use on this website.


Figures,

You guys take a road trip to the midwest, practically into my backyard, and I am JUST NOW reading the thread.

Suffice to say, your trip occoured around the time I was done with chemo and before I had the remnants of my tumor removed. :(

Oh well, at least you guys enjoyed yourselves here in Gopher country. Maybe one of these days, I'll be able to make it out to Rochester to catch a model railroad expo. or explore the remnants of the subway. Who knows...

Good stuff though. Waiting with baited breath to see where the next road trip winds up.

We'll be out to the Twin Cities again soon! You're welcome in Rochester, NY anytime!
