I met several "Westy Women" at Syncro de Mayo this
year. They are also independent spirits:
http://groups.msn.com/DingoDiaries/_whatsnew.msnw
They hung out with the Lonely Syncro group which
included me and Larry Chase. I spoke with a Syncro
friend this afternoon and he mentioned his wife was
having issues with his obsession--hopefully he won't
be one of the Lonely Syncro members next year.
