Diesel, Sorry to hear about your foot. Sometimes those sprains are worse than breaks. But you DID get an excuse to sit at the computer. :-) We have been watching rte 31 for a few years now. Wonder how long it will take. How do you like paying $1.25 to cross the bridge? Can you still cross it at New Hope for free? Didn't realize it was Friday the 13th until I wrote a check at Staples for new ink cartridge. That's when I thought "Why did I come out in this weather on Friday the 13th?" But since I was already out I hit a couple more stores and then we ate at Texas Roadhouse. Do like that place. I have had several different things and have liked them all.
