Good guess, but no. Ken and I are in NY. We would love to have the time and
money to visit Australia some time soon - I'm not too crazy about the
extremely poisonous wildlife you have over there, but exploring the outback
doesn't sound like a lot of fun for us, so hopefully we would not encounter
too many of them at the mall and museum, etc. Ken and I both burst into
flames when exposed to direct sunlight, so we tend to be indoor people.

He just wanted to include non Americans in his July 4th greetings. You
don't NEED a holiday to put some meat on the grill, but it doesn't hurt.

That was Ken's first post to the filePro list in 14 months.
