   They're not necessarily all that reliable either.  A while back when we   
   were leaving NYC we somehow ended up heading TOWARD NYC on the George   
   Washington bridge.  The bridgekeepser suggested that I make a U-turn   
   when traffic allowed.  Yes, I made a U-turn with the 27-foot monsterhome   
   on the GW bridge.

   The GOOD news is that Judgment Day has been postponed by at least five   
   decades!  Find Sarah Connor?  HAH, the bastards can't even find Sears!
