Jim-
"Ultimate destination" ? Hope you were referring to New Britain and not the ULTIMATE destination.

Chap:

I'm now over 60...

I have no illusions as to my destination and the "futility of all human pursuits". But having said that, I will continue to make the trek to the Emerald City of New Britain to seek the Wizard's (the one behind the supply sargent's desk) take on things both large and small (and enjoy the time as "well spent.")

Jim

Getting rather philosophical for a Monday, but I agree completely!
There is always the possibility of interment in New Britain.

As an aside, New Britain had considered building a prison on the old Nike missile base located on the bluff overlooking Peter's house in Plainville.

There were those that said; "Why bother, just fence in the whole city of New Britain."

PS: ...and the cemetary is just down the street from the shop. You may recall when the kid driving the "Rush'n" (Peter's FIA at the time) lost it making the turn and tried to climb the fence into the cemetary. Other than a bruise on his head the kid was OK, but the car needed some body work.

I have ERA#209, a 17 year old car! I still get a lot of attention whenever I drive it. I just found out that ERA has a lot of good info on their site which is a big plus. Getting an ERA was a very very good choice for me.

BFBurk,
Noticed Jersey Shore on the map a few months ago and you're the first person I've "had contact with" that hails from there. Just curious, how did "Jersey Shore" end up in the middle of PA?
