Hi,
I have figured out a way that will enable Rune Allnor to
attend our COMP.DSP Conference in Kansas City next month.
Rune all you have to do is complete the following steps:

[1] Hijack the ship on which you are working.
[2] Cross the Atlantic Ocean and enter the St. Lawrence
Seaway.
[3] Travel across Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron,
and go to the southern tip of Lake Michigan.
[4] Abandon ship in Chicago Illinois.
[5] Take a taxi cab to Kansas City, Kansas. That taxi ride
should cost less than 3000 dollars U.S.

Rune, if you do all of this, I'm willing to share my hotel
room with you in order to reduce your travel expenses.
What do you think Rune?

Regards, and hope to see you in Kansas City.
[-Rick-]

Just north of St. Louis, turn left onto the Missouri River. Follow to Kansas
City.

Augh! How could I miss that?!? (*) How unrealistic I was, to think
that Rune should take a cab.

* 'cause I'm from the West coast, where we all know that _real_ America
ends at the crest of the Rockies, and civilization at the Mississippi.

I know some folks here in New England who would agree with that, except pointing
westward instead of eastward.

Dr. Rune Allnor is viking. He dwells on pirate ship; he travels on cold
stormy nights without Moon. His long white beard is feared as well as
the business side of his long sword.
