Scott, I'm the one with PD, but if it were for the well being of my
wife n fam, I would, as I'm sure you would, drive a Hummer 300
mi./day.  That's interesting about your wife.  I'd like to try a high
altitude vacation someday.

I do have a cottage about 4 hours into Ontario.  Again in a rural
community, we find ourselves driving everywhere, as we do in the
suburbs.  We would definitely need to upgrade our planning and
organization to cut down on trips if we lived there.

That's the only place in the world where I feel I can relax these
days.  And that helps the symptoms.  Does the solitude and seclusion
help your wife?

Rick
