Don't know how that one sprung up Ken. I had been driving me nuts trying to run a computer class without a "h" on the keyboard.
You want mine? the spacebar works intermitantly neither of the two "SHIFT"
keys except if you bash the right one, but that is starting to fail. Oh well it
has to go back with the ex's puter next week, so I'll buy new one

They're already lining up to hurl themselves in front of your car. Better check to ensure your WI auto insur covers you in a rental car here, or be prepared to pay the daily extra here to minimize your losses.
6 days. Better warn the roos that I'll be driving up to Coona next Saturday.
Weve had a not too bad couple of seasons up here, lots of young ones
running/bouncing around. I have to close the gate of a night to stop them
coming into the yard. nearly walked right into one as I was coming out our
front door a couple of weeks back, scared the living be-jeezus out of me.

Don, in honor of the upcoming congregation of Wisconsin residents in Coona I've attached this rare photo, visible only from Wisconsin on clear nights after consuming liters of Point Beer.

I second this insurance advice. I've learned the hard way that the extra $30 a day for full (no excess) cover is well worth it.
It was only a small kangaroo and the damage didn't look THAT bad. $400 odd dollars for the excess.
Don't worry about keeping to the left, rental cars have a little sticker on the dashboard reminding you to do just that.

As we say: Veni, Vidi, Cheesey
See you soon.

While not everyone may truly understand this post, it is actually very very funny!
It is quite unusual to find such fine humour from "behind the cheddar curtain" of Wisconsin...
as a "Big Ten Boy" (Go Boilers) it really struck me as very funny first thing this morning...

THanks Don, but I was back for two weeks just a couple weeks back, and got my fix of local-made brats and ate plenty of cheese and good ol' corn fed beef. I did miss the meat pies and local pizza here, tho....
Here, the cheddar-like cheese is termed tasty. Sharp cheddar is extra tasty. When I enquired at the deli counter for some "sharp cheddar" I got a blank look at first (altho sharp is also a descriptive term here, but the young person didn't quite know that). Finally she realized I was (at the time) Oz-impaired, and asked me very nicely "Would you like some tasty cheese or extra tasty?"
I didn't quite know what to say....I mean, who is going to say "No, no tasty cheese...Do you have any fetid cheese?" to a question like that?
But I soon found that extra tasty is Aussie for sharp cheddar.
No, thanks Don, I'm okay for now. Still luxuriating in the fabulously varied ethnic food offerings of Melbourne. It's amazing, I am eating my way thru this town.
Haven't quite gotten the cohones to try kangaroo meat yet, tho...
