That's funny. I did the same in Germany and Brazil on journalist trips and in Washington and San Francisco while visiting my kids. I need my FReep. I'm heading to San Luis Obispo for three days, however, and I am committed to do automotive biz. I don't think I'll be able to FReep.

If you head out Los Osos Valley Road, you can admire the beautiful house I build in the 70's. It's just past the Baptist Church down in the little valley beyond the cemetary.

Stop and say hi to Barbara Battalino, too.

In San Luis Obispo, try logging on at the Cal Poly library or the Cuesta College library (the latter is a public 2-year college). I haven't been to either campus but in my experience at public universities it's pretty easy to log on at a computer in the library. Or try the public library if that is more convenient.
