Hi Kate,

Chocolate here is crap but Lesley Ann has procured a supply of Green and Blacks

The domestic beer is pure muck but there are pleny of very good Micro brews and European beers available   Blue moon and Bells Oberon come to mind.

We have spent a lot of time travling over here, Detroit, Ann Arbor, Traverse City, all cool towns.

One problem is we live a few miles forma town of 50,000 folsk and there is no taxis so we take turns dirving, everyone here drinks drive which is a bloody disgrace.

Plan to go to Chicago in a few weeks

Yo, Plastic Yankee,

 Got used to C&W music, line dancing and eating Ronald Mc's morning, noon and night?

 You got your orange, kevlar jacket for walking in the woods outside of winter season?

 BPL's don't like open spaces!! Feel at 'home' in trees. ULW gear can't cope in the open.

 As for drinking as much  Your in the US fer jazzus sake !!!!!

 Their "beer's" like "vir**n's p**s.

Yep, you gotta go looking for the 'good' beers.

 Would the BP's cope with normal Erse conditions?

 Be fun to see how the UL gear stood up.

 If I can we'll meet, na prab. May have to do a bit o jugglin, depending on dates.

 Wind and rain ?
