WHAT A LIFE! Sometime in August, think of me stuck in traffic
on the Superstition at 118 F. trying to get the last drop out
of the ol' sports bottle filled with ice chips while you're 
pleasantly coasting down the switchbacks on 89A with a cool breeze
off Oak Creek coming in the window.....ya bum!  ;->

Sounds like my days in Alaska -- the only survival gear I tend
to need nowdays is my gas can and my tow rope! :->

I doubt there is much advantage to it financially - they look
pretty cool. Also, you have to be over 25, so we've got a 
couple years yet.....
