Now, those pesky toll roads may add up and #17 and #33 MAY pose some challenges, but darn it, I think I'm up to it! Besides, #92 should be fun! Here's the thing. If I have to wait much longer (and it looks like I may since we're STILL IN TRANSLATION! GRRRR!), I may take matters into my own hands. Wish me luck!
