Papa Z.
You may have a point here. I am sure that the VA would let us have the
first floor of their building near the dome. It is just all of those
extension cords to being in our own power and the 100 miles of CAT 5 cabel
that would be required that might be a problem. New Orleans will be the
land of deals for a while.
But it would be an interesting and bold statement none the less.
Best wishes; Chris
