RE: (ET) electrak swap meet

[Dave & Debbie Barden <daveb seanet com>]

all this talk of a meet on the far side of the Mississip brings to mind a 
quirky little film a few years back called "The Straight Story".  I can 
just 
see a caravan of us west coast Etrak-ers making our way cross country in 
20 
mile hops. 3,000/20 = 150 days.  hmm that'd require only 6mos notice  :^)
 
for those not familar with the film it documents the true story of 2 long 
estranged brothers and how one of them unable to drive a car and diagnosed 
with 
a terminal illness sets out accross (Iowa?) on his JD lawnmower to patch 
things 
up with his brother before he dies.  It's available on video, a great 
story, 
well acted, and I highly recommend it.  hmmm it's time I watched it 
again...
