May Not Rent

At this time I anticipate that no rental will be involved in carpooling to Southern this weekend, in a white 2005 Chrysler Town & Country, Touring Edition.

[We'll post pix later; right now we're exhausted after a long day at the dealership.]

Bounced E-Mail Update

As mentioned in this post, some people would receive a rejected e-mail after they posted to this weblog. As it turns out, one of my upstream providers was doing spam filtering, and decided to reject any e-mails from the following domains unless delivered by a machine actually in that domain.

• aol.com
• hotmail.com
• lycos.com
• msn.com
• yahoo.com
• yahoo.com.hk
• yahoo.com.tw

Because the messages were being sent from Blogger.com instead of from your actual e-mail server, they were being rejected.

I've asked to have Blogger.com added to the whitelist, and it appears that this has solved the problem. If you get a bounced e-mail when you post here, please tell me.

Stan/Gen Wedding: What Hertz Would Cost

It looks like Hertz will charge us 29¢/mile, or about $320 more than quoted here, making a total of around $600 + gasoline. Divided amongst seven (?) people, it's about $85/person + gas. Is this worthwhile? Does anyone have a seven or eight passenger vehicle we could borrow for less?

Selected Vehicle: Mini-Van, Auto Trans-Air Con Ford Freestar or Similar Details: $84.99 USD Weekend day Base Amount: Weekend day: 3 at $84.99 USD 100 FREE MI .29 EXTRA MI (MI = Miles KM = Kilometers) Total Approx. Charges: $286.16 Additional Items (included in Approximate Total Charges) PER RENTAL Tax: 11.50 % Vehicle licensing fee: $1.68 USD Optional Items (not included in quote) Rates for Optional Items are exclusive of tax and other associated charges PER DAY LIABILITY INSURANCE SUPPLEMENT: 11.95 USD LOSS DAMAGE WAIVER: 22.99 USD PERSONAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE /PERSONAL EFFECTS COVERAGE: 5.50 USD Rates above are guaranteed in US DOLLARS

Rehearsal Tonight…

…at the church, call time 6:45. We're practicing to play at the Spanish church.

Corey, could you confirm what slots we'll need to fill? We also need directions.

Wedding travel

I'd like to carpool, if it works out. Return time has some wiggle room, though I should show up at work by Monday afternoon if possible.

Chamber Music Weekend

Please notice that the $15 discount goes away at the end of June 1. (Assuming that I'm awake and make the change. <wink>)

Also, Geri is going, and is looking for a ride. If you're driving down Tuesday July 13 or Wednesday July 14, please post here so we can get things worked out.

Travel to C'dale this weekend

We need to clarify plans for traveling to Collegedale for Stan and Gen's nuptials. Here's one way things could work out for the Ashton family:

• Drive to Collegedale Friday night/Sabbath, leaving sometime late Friday afternoon or evening, trying to arrive before 6:00 PM.
• Drive back Sunday night, leaving shortly after the wedding, trying to arrive before the workday begins.

We're pretty flexible with the scheduling. It's not inconceivable that I could take a vacation day Friday or Monday if needs be.

We've talked about renting a larger vehicle so that we can carpool with more people in either or both directions. David? Jamey? D2? Others?

Post responses here and tell what schedule or plan works best for you.
