[Rhodes22-list] I have a stuiped question(maybe even rude)

[Michael Meltzer]

Come to Chicago to be with Ric, I like it. something tells me an indoor boat show is not going to be Newport or Annapolis, after 35
feet they kind of hard to move off the water. Cold, yuk. Specking of the bad part of town, NYC got kind of borring after they closed
all the strip clubs, how chicgo's :-)
