Subject: 21 Window Salute and other stuff

   Steve, 
        I tried to E-mail you back to let you know that I think i can handle
2 megs, but they said I had the wrong address. I'm not sure if my "mailbag"
can handle it, so if you could, start with the FAQ. Thanks.
        Living in the southwest, Arizona to be exact, we've pretty much
passed the days where you could light your cigar or pipe by just stepping
outside. Now that the afternoons and evenings have become bearable, if not
beautiful, I venture outside with Sosa in hand to enjoy the peace and smoke,
to watch my 2 year old terrorize the ants and pull over the old ladies ( on
his scooter police car) for going to slow, and then finally to hear the 21
Window Salute. Huh, you ask? Well , you see, I live in an apartment and with
the weather change, many people opt to turn the AC off at night and open the
window. Until I, the conducter, decide to start the show. With baton in hand
I light the end and wave it around , take a puff or two, and it starts.
Swiish! BANG!!!, Swiish!!!BANG!!! BANG!!!BANG!!!
     It has become an evening ritual on my nights off. Im sure they are
thankful I do work nights. Not for long, Ha Ha! After the Overture, back to
my cigar and son...Now back to you.

[ Sounds like a fun event! Perhaps someday you could organize a
concert? :-) -S. ]
