Damn right there's a bias. And I won't even get into the "good ole boy"
syndrome. But that's another story for another place.
I hope that Dick is serious, I know that I, and a few others in the Phoenix
area are. And as far a whinning goes, you should have heard us after doing
2000 miles (one way) in about 30 hours. If the whole thing was really fair,
it would have been ok.... And there were a few guys from Oregon, a thousand
miles further. I think that Dick was really pushed hard by this one as
several of his products were there and were not "allowed" to do real well.
We really do want something towards the West coast (the Sonoran Desert seems
like a great place to me!), but I can see Los Vegas being a pretty
convienient spot.
