Re: A bit of fun
  Ronald Stux

Brewster? I used to drive through there all the time when I lived in MA. We
have a son in the DC area, and I always went down 84, 684 Saw Mill Parkway
- beautiful drive, but getting more and more crowded as time went by - and
over the Tappan Zee Bridge which has also been rebuilt I believe. Been a
long time now as we moved to South Florida in 2005. Nothing remotely
resembling a tram down here, although there was a pipe dream about one in
Fort Lauderdale a while back which has come to nothing.

Cheers,

Ron Stux - got second shot today and cautiously making plans to visit in
2022 (Melbourne that is, not Brewster)
