Never mind, I just reread it and think I already have my answer.
And since I feel like I've been "driving" in the same derby (Flintstone-style) for... well... a couple of years now, believe me when I say, "I feel your pain..." ;-)

Downtown Disney
My mom's birthday present to me was a mini-vacation in Orlando, since we're too broke to take a real vacation.

How does an engineer possess both the vision to provide the former and the lack of imagination that results in the latter? Go »
