With two current tour groups and CAF interested in an Architectural Tour, I am absolutely delighted. I can refer right and left when someone shows an interest in the device.
The downtown area is covered, the burbs are covered and word has it the North Shore may have an outlet in the future.
Isn't life grand - at last.

That's great! ... but why to these %!*^@ reporters always feel they have to get a "zinger" in - from the last paragraph ... quote: ...even though President Bush fell off one during a vacation.HE DID NOT "FALL OFF ONE" ... as we all know, he stepped on a Segway that was not turned on!

“Who goes out and says, ‘You have a better probability of winning the state lottery than making a nickel in professional sports. And by the way, last year two million exciting technical jobs went unfilled in this country because you weren't there to take that job. And it pays you 10 times as much as flipping burgers, and it's fun and it's exciting and you get to create things and build things and help make the world a better place and help make yourself a better living.’ Who tells them this?”
