   I'm liking some of those spots on Bill's list.  Surgery Wednesday and   
   then I'm gonna start making some plans.   
      
   Brother was staying at a place in FLA and someone actually stole their   
   ashtray.  Upset his wife since it was a gift from a relative who had   
   died.  She's walking through the campground and sees the damn thing.   
   Got management and the people claimed they thought it was being thrown   
   out and gave it back.  WTF?  Who steals an ashtray?
