Scott, I'm the one with PD, but if it were for the well being of my wife n fam, I would, as I'm sure you would, drive a Hummer 300 mi./day. That's interesting about your wife. I'd like to try a high altitude vacation someday. I do have a cottage about 4 hours into Ontario. Again in a rural community, we find ourselves driving everywhere, as we do in the suburbs. We would definitely need to upgrade our planning and organization to cut down on trips if we lived there. That's the only place in the world where I feel I can relax these days. And that helps the symptoms. Does the solitude and seclusion help your wife? Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott E.
