I hardly think I will have the chance to do mail order, considering that I
plan to leave for the war in about six hours.  There must be a Wal-Mart
someplace off the 5 though.  I hope.

I got a Coleman's foot pump to go with the air mattress, comfy blankets for
below and above.  The location is very warm, according to some people who
have been there and back this week;  remember, this is east San Diego
County, about a stone's throw from the Mexican border.  Muy Caliente!  but
nicer in May than in September, the other war weekend in this park.

Selene, blathering
