| PS: current batch is kinda fuzzy -- pretty low-light conditions in the gallery, unfortunately. Also, #1106 through #1111 are pictures of the NELUG logo done in lego, and not really interesting to the general population. :) (27 years ago, 25-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.events, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

| There may or may not be a free shuttle but my advice is learn the T. Even if you're only in town for a weekend, it's a much better way to go. Plus the trains are much tighter headings than the 1/2 hour heading a shuttle is likely to be on. A cab (...)
