Subject: Internet Going Down For Maintenance

I suspect that this has something to do with today being April First 
called "April Fool's Day". My sister in Pittsburgh is one year oloder 
today. Since she was born a couple months permature she was a pretty big 
April Fool's surprise.

Have Fun,
Sends Steve
