Actually, I am a serious caffeine addict. Shame on me -- my "donations" to
Dr. Pepper are more than enough to keep them in business. It does cause one
to wonder why the stuff is legal.
I can't stand coffee, but I have at least 32 oz. of Dr. Pepper each day. If
I don't get it, I go into withdrawl pretty bad -- the shakes, the headaches,
the irritability, the desire to watch Star Trek Voyager, the works.

I'm only going to *contemplate* what you did in the mean-time. I'm savoring
the image... :-,

You mean from the can, or syrup straight from the bag?
Barbara and I visited the Coca-Cola place in Vegas recently. (1) According
to the tour guide, Coca-Cola syrup is still sold in drug stores as a
cure-all. Hmmm... Nothing like that on the Rite-Aid shelves in Utah,
though.

1. Located on the Strip, right next-door to the M&Ms place and across the
street from the La Quinta Inn (2). The Coca-Cola bit was better, IMO.
That, and the Big Shot ride at the top of the Stratosphere at night are
about the only places on the Strip I would recommend any more. (3)
2. Ain't no way I'm paying more than $100 a night just to have a place to
sleep...
3. If you want to hear my Las Vegas tirade, you'll have to beg. :-P
