i&amp;#39;ve seen the southern cross from the top of the sky tower in auckland.
too many sheep
really liked the motorcycle shops
ice cream and beer were ok
when i visited i was still retired.
but did swim in the olympic pool in sydney after seeing the 3 sisters.

newengland, sounds like a place smaller than we have ranches here in texas.   oh wait that IS true.
King ranch is bigger than the state of rhode island.  they allowed the state/feds to build I37 through their ranch.

No supermarket junk for me. Even Ben &amp;amp; Jerry&amp;#39;s is considered inferior around there. Nothing is as good as a scoop of chocolate from Kimball Farm (small is the size of a baby&amp;#39;s head). It&amp;#39;s one of the things I miss having moved back here to the DC area. No great homemade ice cream stands. But when you reach a certain age, eating that much is ice cream isn&amp;#39;t in the cards. Too much fat. Even though I try to justify it by claiming it&amp;#39;s got calcium so it&amp;#39;s good for my bones. :rofl:I look upon ice cream and yogurt like I do the Lord of the Rings movies vs. the books.

Brundage</dc:creator><description>speaking of the 500 in SA, i REALLY REALLY REALLY hate the order of events!!!Steve, just outsource your entry to me as I have your 6 events all planned out:

Thursday

1000
1650
You are allowed to enter both events and doing this will ensure you truly know the walls so that your turns are then super-fast for the 500 on Saturday and we don&amp;#39;t hear any whining about how us tall guys get extra distance off the pushoff


Friday

400 IM - during which you just get a split request for your 100 fly and then loaf the rest.  Of course, you will need to do a legal breaststroke to have your fly time count
200 free - plenty of rest by skipping the actual 100 fly and then you&amp;#39;re out of there early enough to rest up for the 500


Saturday

500 free - hopefully, we can round up a great final heat for this like we did in Greensboro (and, be thankful that Switzer and Sims are 50+)
200 fly - we&amp;#39;ll make this your 6th event, but hope that they don&amp;#39;t drop it so that you can win the &amp;quot;macho man&amp;quot; award for entering the 6 toughest events on the agenda


Saturday night - you head up to Austin and buy rounds of drinks for the rest of us who have looked at the Sunday order of events and decided there&amp;#39;s no use sticking around for any of that mess.


p.s. you ... willing to put up a pint for the winner of the 500?
maybe get shaffer and dickson to go in as well.  i could use another 1/2 gal for free :DI&amp;#39;m in.
