[pct-l] VVR

[dude at fastmail.ca (dude)]

ok, ok, ok...  so the road isn't the worst road in the world.  it is 
not very difficult to drive as long as you are not freaked out by 
cliffs and you go slow.  It just feels like a huge pain in the ass 
because you could almost run it faster than you can drive it.

peace,
dude
