Hi Jim, Hi Tony, this is the trip i wish i had made.. things here in the southern hemisphere have been Wet. here in Coffs we have had over 1800mm of rainfall in 6 months, thats over 6 feet for the metrically impaired. to hear of dry weather and 98F temps brings tears to the Aussie chile-heads eyes.. Its great to hear that Tony Flynn made it to Jims Chile Patch, I hope that his travels take him to visit other chile-heads in the USA. Obviously he had the same troubles that I did in accessing the internet while travelling otherwise we would have had more reports.. Take care of Tony's gout, <g> keep him away from that seafood..
