Goodness! I wondered what that sudden rush of blood to the head was about!

What with SARS and the terrorist problems, I'm fielding more and more emails
from Velocity and Maule (I have a Maule for use while I fiddle with the
Velocity) people looking to holiday in safety here - heck, if I get anymore
I am going to open my own flier's travel agency!

Perhaps we could organise a Velocity family visit down Under - now there
would be some incentive for people down here to get their Velocitys
finished!  (me included!). Plenty to see and do down here - but budget on an
absolute minimum of a month - we are even bigger than Texas you know!!  ;>)

Have an absolute heap of my Chapter members visiting OSH this year so if you
guys hear an Aussie accent - say G'Day!.
