I had been taught it was the latter but now, like so many other=20 things I've been tought, I'm not too sure. So I'll simply ask the list for further information and opinions, and sit=20 back and learn something. As for the second part of your message, it looks like I've been busted. You= =20 found me. Winters I live in the "I" building in Chac Hal Al in Puerto=20 Aventuras. The tire cover was to match the one on my Allegro motorhome;=20 their motto is "Roughing It Smoothly." Let me know when you'll be down here and we'll do some diving. Assuming=20 you're full cave certified, maybe a trip through the Chinese Garden in Taj=20 Mahal and the circuit from the River Run to Little Joe's in Eden. Then,=20 after we get comfortable with each other's diving style, I'll be happy to=20 show you around our new cenote. If you or your wife aren't full cave=20 certified yet, then perhaps we can do some of the cavern tours around here.
