	I'll be bacl one of these days.  I guess it's been just about 4 years
	since last I was there.  I love that area... it's like Heaven.
	I also noticed that Tennessee, at least the east end of it, is
	really gorgeous.

	Last I was at the school, they were putting in the first
	bank of new hoods and replumbing the vents.
