   Hi Dave,

    RH> vehicle plus camper; the January trip was with the camper. We'd been   
    RH> out west to visit our girls for Christmas, came home the southern route   
    RH> so we could visit some friends in Alabama along the way. Also avoided

    DD> Through or around varied depending on time of day and day of ther

   We usually do the "go 'round" option and try to avoid hitting cities   
   during "rush" hour. Going to have to deal with Chicago at some point;   
   we've got a donation to make to the Chicago Public Library. When my   
   maternal grandmother died, her daughters donated some of the family   
   paperwork (books of poems, etc) to the Library. A few years ago when my   
   dad passed away, we were up for the funeral and found my younger brother   
   burning papers from my aunt's apartment. We rescued a box--found out it   
   was more of my great grandfather's writings, including the handwritten   
   manuscript for a 4th (unpublished) book. We figure he passed away before   
   it could be published. CPL has copies of the first 3, including the   
   scarce 3rd, and in 2019 said they would welcome the additional papers.   
   Well, covid hit, then this and that, hopefully we'll get there next   
   year.   
      
      
      
    RH> We got our first tv when I was 9 years old. Parents didn't listen to

    RH> We got our first one in the early 60s, maybe a year or so (don't   
    RH> remember exactly) before the JFK assassination. Only got one station   
    RH> for the first few years, then only 2 until I was in college & the local   
      
    DD> Our first "Community Antenna" was just that - A very tall antenna that   
    DD> pulled Stations from100 or so miles away (St. Louis/Champaign/Peoria)

    DD> I remember when my dad came home with a 17" table-top TV and it was   
    DD> the  "cutting edge" of technology. Heck, my confuser's monitor on   
    RH>  this DD> unit  is 27" And Dennis is usig the 45" boob tube in the   
    RH> front room as a monitor.   
      
    RH> Steve used our only tv as a monitor for his C-64 for the first year or   
    RH> so. I'd ask him to be done so I could catch news/weather at 10; he'd   
    RH> say "OK" but Johnny Carson would be almost over before he'd quit. After   
    RH> a 3 month TDY, he used some of the pay saved from that to get a proper   
    RH> monitor.   
      
    DD> My first Commode Door 64 has the factory 1702 monitor. It stayed as a   
    DD> VCR monitor long after the confuser was upgraded.   
      
   When we went to Germany, we got a multi system set so we could watch   
   German (and in Berlin, British) tv. That one finally died, IIRC, when we   
   were in HI, where, it was fun, with cable, to watch Asian channels, as   
   well as a German one. Saw some of the original (in Japanese, with no   
   translation) Iron Chef shows.

   I'll rescue my goose from the supermarket, thank you very much. When my   
   mother started working in the school library, she started buying a goose   
   (instead of) turkey for Christmas dinner. We'd go to her mother's for   
   Thanksgiving so had turkey there and ham was served varioous times   
   during the year so I guess she wanted something different--but the   
   traditional German Christmas dinner. She did all the sides generally   
   associated with an American Thanksgiving dinner with the goose but it   
   didn't last as long as a turkey and couldn't hold as much stuffing   
   (usually only one meal's worth).
