>That will do it every time! We got a kick out of the two guys from Armenia who trained on the streets of San Jose. I am glad I did not see them during rush hour (5 AM - 9 AM or 3 PM to 8 PM - it is a "long hour"). Did anyone tell them there was ice and snow involved with this endeavor? With the possibility of singing soprano or worse! :)
