Your question was:
> Venerated Oracle, furry and wise:
>
> I'm taking three or four weeks off between jobs. What should I do with
> this time?

} I'm not very good at telling people what to do. I can, however, tell
} you what NOT to do:
}
} 1. Don't get involved in any Arkansas land deals
} 2. Don't say "Hi" to a pilot named "Jack"
} 3. Don't try to hang indoor Christmas lights outside during a
} rain/snow fall
} 4. Don't pull the tag off of your mattress; and,
} 5. Don't write a bank withdrawl request on the back of a napkin
