I'm in Sunnyvale, Sunday evening thru Tuesday afternoon.

Lodging at Maple Tree Inn.

If that's in any of you lurkers stomping grounds, give me a call.

Possibly, but can't guarantee, that I'll have some sipping time
available.

I know ;-)

But I'm without wheels due to my leg problems... which are in
repair... more details later... the L5 nerve is a remarkable thing ;-)

OK, I can drive, if you'll buy me a beer.

So you're wheelchair-bound, is that it?

Nope. Just hobbling along on muscles that had atrophied from disuse
as I favored my right leg to avoid pain in the left.

Problem turned out to be L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1 disc protrusions.

Had two epidural steroid injections which finally knocked the
inflammation down.

Now I'm in physical therapy to rebuild the left leg.

I'm actually doing pretty well... I can almost walk in a straight line
now ;-)

I'm not driving due to some remanent cramping which can double me up
without prior notice :-(

Lucky you. I've apparently got to go to Wheeling, WV this summer. Is
there anything around there of interest?

I was happy to find this place in Phoenix last trip:

At one time, Wheeling had the longest suspension bridge in the world.
It blew down in a windstorm--it had a nasty resonance that the wind
would excite, like the (much later) Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

This one? I don't see anything about it falling down.

The longest "single arch steel span bridge" is on the way there
(Fayetteville, WV), the location of Bridge Day.
