Hi Ian, welcome. Nice to see you finally took the plunge and joined in on the fun.

I am really amazed when you mention going to a 4th of July cruise in NORWAY. I think of this as a strictly American holiday, and didn't know other places thought of it as anything other than another day. Cool.

Wow, over $ 7.00 a gal for gas. George Bush must be drooling, trying to figure how to get ours that high. (sorry for the personal/political shot at George )

I'm also amazed about the 3000 car turnout thing. Unbelievable.
