Doc Who...more details please?

You guys are on fiyah tonight!

All I know I'm on Amtrak Sunday to meet my son in Denver, as he drives up from Albuquerque in a rental. Sounds like rental to west coast back to Albuquerque will be a grand, way to much! So sounds like train back to Martinez and my wife will pick us up. Raft trip out of Glendwood Springs. Not me with this cold. If we do drive west Area 51 drive by on the list to do. The Little A'Le'Inn, outside of Area 51.

He or we put 5,200 miles on back east on a rental.
