	. I know, I've been gone for so long...I have some catching up to do, but it's just not the time or place. Yet. Not my favorite place, but definitely high ranking. If you walk along the banks of this canal and keep your psychological blinders on it can be beautiful. If you keep your eyes turned away from the park worker who is passed out in a drunken stupor and the garbage floating downstream, it is a picture postcard. No, it's not bad at all. And I certainly do love it when the cherry blossoms make their annual appearance. Shall we meet here someday? . siempre, Shy . Addendum: Waiting on yet another ticket, looks like I'll be in San Francisco on the 28th. Any requests? Copyright SMQ 1999
