   Actually, I did see Idol. Max said if I went to Karaoke, I would be going   
   alone. I wasn't going to go alone, so I called one of her friends. But,   
   there was too much talking on the phone, so never did go out. Swam in the   
   pool, tried to drink all my rum (was extra weight in the trunk) and made a   
   piglet of myself with a full Shrimp Ring and hot seafood sauce while   
   watching Idol and CSI. Two nights of Shrimp Rings will either elevate my   
   cholesterol level or keep me really "regular".

   And don't think I was still confident. I could leave the car her in Moncton   
   and come back for it, if need be, but I think we will get there OK. The belt   
   is a little loose, it was new, and likely stretched, so it makes a bit of   
   noise until you get underway.  I thought of going to Cumberland Auto to buy   
   that Rebuilt one he said he could get. Worse case scenerio, I would not need   
   it, but it would not be much more than CAA to give me some sense of   
   security. Nothing worse that an isolated community outside Riviere Du Loup   
   to lose an alternator. Probably have to order one from Quebec City if that   
   happened.

   I never liked Google way to go in. Did it once, forgot how.. No matter.   
   within Aliant networks, I can do it. This hotel (Holiday Inn Express) must   
   be on the same network, it runs real well here..   
      
   Catch-up time. Standbye Dora.. I am answering them all..
