Dear Friends and Fellow Travellers,

Starting Friday 1st August 08, I'm heading off for a couple of weeks of solitary wandering and muttering amidst the dunes and salty shine.

Normal transmission should resume around 16th August.
Till then, have fun shipmates!... And as always - Thank You.

CHEERS!
