    Friday afternoon as I was gassing up for the trip, a guy walked up & asked if my Proton was a pimped out Amigo. I almost decked him

    While in Essington PA, gassing up again (Yup - gas mileage that bad) a guy pulled up to the pump next to me & said that he was glad I had stopped. His son (10 or 11 years old) was yelling at him to chase me down to find out what it was.

    Other than that it was just a matter of seeing people walking around it and checking it out each time I parked & walked away.

    Sorry we couldn't meet up this trip Eric. See you at Luray in a few weeks tho. Wifey is interested in visiting Fort Mifflin (SP?) this summer as well.

    Unless you've an interest in walking around an old fort, don't expect much...your basic "ghost walk" I took the kids there a couple of times when they were young. The Mutter museum (don't know where the umlaut is) of medical anomalies, is real entertainment....no imagination needed! Extraordinary collection of "pickled punks" (fetus in alcohol) Cyclops baby, Two headed baby, abnormal skeletons, tumors, lesions, and my personal favorite, an 18in. skeleton...one head, two bodies... amazing stuff

    Thanks Chopper - we'll keep that in mind but prolly go anyway. Between the ghostie thing & the history thing ... we'll give it a shot. I think they've been doing a slow but steady renovation for the past few years. Already done the Mutter Museum a couple of times - always entertaining knowing how close I came to looking like a fish.

    Eric - Yup, over by the airport (I think). You shoulda told them you were digging them a new mote.
