No, Rocky, it didn't.
Well, I have still an open US Visa and if I happen to make some good money
till the next summer I'd definitely go to visit NYC. California and Pacific
looks like a good place to visit too but these are for the next time to
visit...
I must say I have found Seattle/Bellvue area where I have been in the
beginning of this summer too quiet to be good fit for me - I'm seems to be
addicted forever to the big cities like St.Petersburg, Russia is...
NYC would be a good fit for me I think...

(Well I didn't require you to drink it all at once.)
I'm not likely to be in your neighborhood soon. Did anything develop
for you over here that might bring you our way?
Best,
Rocky
