To: "Hrothny" on the subject of chivalry in our time. I last night boarded a bus for downtowm Durham NC. It seemed to be loaded with young men whe apparently have difficulty finding pants to fit, belts to hold up said pants or people with sewing skills to help them solve the problem  if they recognize it as a problem. All of a sudden one of them, NOT sitting in the handicapped sction, stood up and sweetly offered me his seat. I thanked him as i sat down thinking...you cant judge a book by its cover!      And thats the news fro Mundania, where all the woemn are strong, all the men are good lookin and the above average children plant vegetable gardens!

I live in Randallstown just west of Baltimore. If someone needs crashspace
this weekend  I'd be glad to put you up.
We do have two friendly dogs, one is goofier that the other.

Drop me a line or call me. My contact info is on the Bright Hills Website
and the Archery Marshal page.

Well, all honour to that individual, then!  I truly enjoyed looking at 
the many varied designs he worked so hard to gift the attendees with.  
Tellya what:  I'd be happy to join a group to raise the funds for a full 
maze.  Anyone else??  It would certainly add something to the event, not 
to mention a little "osmotic learning" as it were.
