     While in some respects it may seem like it, some days, it's very   
   difficult for me to get around the apartment...let alone elsewhere. Some   
   days, it's very difficult to get in and out of my car.   
      
     Society is too litigious...they'll sue at the drop of a hat. If they   
   sued for public flatulence, everyone would be under the jail.

     Unfortunately, there is no D-Star Repeater in central Arkansas that is   
   on the Gateway. The one they have is available to folks with D-Star radios   
   only. With all the trees around me, I can't even hit a wide area coverage   
   analog repeater on Shinall Mountain, west of Little Rock.   
      
     Plus, with not even getting $1100 a month in disability, I can't afford   
   to get a D-Star HT, a DV4Mini, a Raspberry Pi, etc. I joke that "I don't   
   know much about a Raspberry Pi, but a pineapple upside down cheesecake   
   sounds awfully good". (hi hi)

   ... Does "MNP-5" mean "Modem needs a 5 topping pizza"??
