| On the road to Colorado
Hey all!
Just a heads up that I may be off the boards for about 2 weeks (oh, stop cheering!). Armorer's college...not sure if there’s an internet connection (there probably is).
Off to bed now...driving out EARLY to beat traffic tomorrow morning! | 
|  | | And now for this message... |

| Whoops. So it is!
Forgive a poor Englishwoman whose geography of the US is a bit dodgy.
"Is this the way to Denver" wouldn't really scan, though. Or Boulder. And I don't know any more places in Colorado. No wait, there's a Springfield in every state, isn't there?
I think Boulder's a fab name for a place. We should have a uk city like that, only our country is a lot smaller, so it would have to be called Pebble. Or Grit, maybe...

| By all means, drop by the Academy if it's anywhere near on your way! I'll be back there by Thursday night or Friday, and would be glad to give a tour about. | |

I just got back from a few hours in Cambridge, and count myself lucky to be alive! You lot have absolutely no regard for pedestrians!  | |

| Soldier,
I'd be more sympathetic but I drove through central London earlier today and the amount of pedestrians seemingly trying to fling themselves under my front wheels was quite staggering. Some people just do NOT look!
Anyway, remember the traffic drives on the left here - sure you just weren't looking the wrong way?!!
