What a nice idea, clees. I would offer to help you witha place to sayt
but unfortunatly, until I go off to school in Sept, I have no place to
offer. After my last sojourn into the world of higher-post-high-school
education, and then I had so many bills I ran hom, my mother has sworn
me to not let any grexers near her apartment (after the Lestat ordeal...:) )
But do inform me when you will be in the area, and I will make the trip down to
Ann Arbor to see you.

Well, as I said, I am not really sure there is going to be a place/seat
for me in a plane to Chicago/Detroit.
You see, I was going to visit bhelliom, as we are developed in
busy correspondents, but I haven't got her definite fiat yet. As soon as
I know more I will certainly try. The only thing is actually, that she
will be leaving for China for nine months, and things
really have to be done in that particular week. Or else, I will come
next summer (in 1997, yhat is) as I am planning with a couple of friends
to do the route 66, and be real and proper tourists. But since that
route starts in Chicago, those 200 mls. can't be too much of a
problem.
But, take it from me: I want to come!
Bribes can be made for hospitality.
<sigh> why do I always make these decisions on such short and tight
notice?
I'll keep you informed, anyways.
ciao!
er, btw:
since today I have got my own Homepage! Posted in Holland, yes, but written in
my typically Dutch english stacked with typos and grammatical errors. the
address: http://huizen.dds.nl/~elkerlyc/ (in it a picture of
me..........aiaiai)

much of route 66 has been replaced by interstate 40, unfortunately.
however, parts of it do still exist here and there (and it's a lot longer than
200 miles...route 66 went all the way from chicago to california).

Next year? (wink wink).
Btw, I tried to buy a seat yesterday, but they put me on a waitinglist,
which means all seats are taken.
Well, expect nothing and hope for the best.
As I feared, my impulsive ways sometimes play nasty tricks on me.
(damn)

Clees, if you are referring to the plane that went down, yes, it is too bad.

Of course I want to. If not this year, next year, or the year after.
I am that kind of snob that doesn't feel he's had a decent holiday
if he hasn't crossed the borders of Europe.
(which means I only had one, haha)
Why don't you go with me?
We'll pick up some Grexers and do route 66 together.

Are you all talking about the plane that was shot down outside of JFK?
I'm not sure of the airport, but the gov't has siad that there is
strong evidence that it was a surface to air missile. I don't think
that the gov't would admit to a surface to air missile on our own soil,
without some STRONG evidence. Well that is what is what we heard
up here from the news service. But from what I understand the higher
ups have really clamped down on what has been getting out to news
lately. But htis one is definaltely out the the ordinary.

hmmm. i've heard nothing about a surface-to-air missile, but most folks
are concluding that it was a bomb of some sort.
(val, where is "up here?")

I'v e heard that it is one of the possibilities,but they think it was more
along the lines of a bomb in the plane... Of course, they still haven't
said for sure that it was anything of the sort, officially it could
have been a problem with the plane... <Shrug> (I watch too much tv....
they kept interrupting my soaps... <grin> )
As soon as they know if it was a bomb they will be turning the
investigation over to the FBI.

Up in northern Michigan. That was the first thing I heard, over
the radio. We confirmed it with the CNN and a couple
other electronic newsfeeds up in the computer lab
I guess it only leaked out for
a little while. Then 'they' clamped down on it.

I honestly don't think that was what it was, because for that, there would
have needed to be a Naval base, or an Air Force base nearby....
Alos, if that were what it was, the Italian plane that witnessed it would have
said they saw something hit the plane....
However, if that is the case, that could be why the Navy is having so much
trouble finding the black boxes, and why they have not okayed divers to go
down and explore the wreckage.....
I definately smell something fishy, and it is a shame those 21 children from
that wschool in Pennsylkvania had to die and now all their classmates have
to deal with that loss....

The reason that the missile thing got started was because
alot of the eye-witnesses said that they saw something like a flare going up
to meet the plane. Lots of missiles don't need
military bases to be deployed from what I understand. Anyway, could
have been us anyway. Well that was the word that got around in
camp.
