I was looking at the scheds last night and I don't think I'll get the
scratch in time for Barber. Might skip ATl and go to the big deal in
Indy instead. I've flown over it on the Delta route between Cincinnati
and Champagne, IL for work, but haven't ever actually set foot in
Indiana. Might be a good excuse to go to a place I have visited yet.

We did the southern swing last year(VIR and RA) and had a super time up
in the Shenandoah,(hard cider! but were able to stay with friends
along the way, so, it wasn't that expensive, however, Indy will be a
much different deal. I went to the 500 back in the 80's when it really
was a big deal and remember it Daytonaesque, that is, not F'ing cheap,
but hopefully W's BS economic $600 kickback will hit by then and take a
little pain away from the $4 a gallon gas that we'll prolly be
"allowed" to buy this summer...
