[AT] Anyone near Owasso, OK?

Ron,  your message never made it to me so I'll reply via Mattias' comments.

I'm guessing but I figured Cecil was within 100 miles and Al and I are about
1200 miles or so away so in relative terms Cecil is close by.  I certainly 
wasn't suggesting
that he go out of his way 100 miles but thought he might be closer and it 
might be on
his way somewhere.  Cecil, I wasn't trying to load your cart!

Mattias, that fire truck trip was quite an adventure for the whole group 
wasn't it?
We all followed it as if it was a rocket trip to Mars or something.  grins.
