I saw this info on the CHSRA website right after they occurred. These items don't show up in any of the Authority archives. Mack was on the agenda for the Jan. Board meet in to make a presentation.

No need to apologize, weather is weather. Works fine now. Thanks.

Just tried several times with two browsers. All I get back is "No Insert"

No, just didn't list the PPC or diner.

On a slightly different area, saw the CS yesterday and it was only sleepers, coaches and one SSL.

Don't try it in California, they are very serious about it as ehbowen above noted.
