That's really cool. I didn't know places like that still existed in this country.

Pretty cool, but I'd rather commute by M.U.L.E.

Yeah, but then your M.U.L.E. flips out and runs off right when you need that extra energy. [Mad]

I would love to play a game of M.U.L.E. Haven't played in years. I wonder how hard it would be to get my hands on a C64 emulator and a copy of the game?

Actually, the Atari 800 emulator/copy of MULE works quite well. I'm heading to lunch but I may have links when I get back.

I can't help but think that the newspaper article -- written solely to amuse the public -- is needlessly endangering a third-grader.

Cool Tick--if you can find links I'd love to have them.

Thanks! I'll be visiting those links when I get home tonight.

So much for cleaning the house.

That is so cool (the mule story). It was not uncommon for those of us in my grade school to choose to, one day of the year, ride horses to school instead of the bus -- it was kind of a novelty. But I never got to (even though I had a horse).

I did, however, one ride my bike to school (14 miles) just to say I did.
