He usually carries his gear in a satchel bag, having seen him with it at least twice. That's interesting that he would find such hospitality in Santa Monica. Just the other day we dropped off our daughter at my mother's in SM and then went to dinner and a movie. The town is coldly unhospitable as ever, and it reminded us how glad we were that we didn't live here anymore. Me, when I carry gear around conspicously, people looke at me as though I'm Cobra ready to strike. Dan Post wrote: > > Slobodan- > If Robert is lucky, he is like me- over 55.
