Hello Volks,

I was wondering why I did not get the usual deluge of vanagon email for the
last couple of days. When I sent the SET MAIL command to listserv the answer
was that I was not a member. Well I rejoined. Maybe Gerry (our listserver)
picks random participants and discards them once in a while. Maybe Gerry
does not like me any more :( (the usual human response).

On the other hand I enjoyed the visits of two listmembers in person
throughout these days: David Marshall and family and Earl Smith who is
actually outside of the list currently. It reminded me that computer
dialogues are no substitutes for direct person to person talks. So thanks
for the reminder Gerry.

My immediate list memory is blank through not participating. I have to tell
you I enjoyed the absence of the usual fingerpointing exercises. 

So here is what I did in the meantime. I took my Syncro spring skiing to our
local very sunny and snowy (over 8 meters) Mount Washington B.C. I was
skiing in jeans and still sweating.

I met another Syncro too without the owner. I wrote www.vanagon.com on his
dirty rear window. Hum, maybe computers are good for making contact too. Why
don't we focus on that by helping each other and using the vanagon and gerry
as a vehicle. Just thinking...
