I would appreciate that list. And definitely let me know for the city stuff. Do you know if any Paid on Call spots are open, I would like to get in there to but I don't know where to start. I think Bart and Meat-head are trying to get me to do a vent training. That's why I want the good training material.

Could you send me some of the training web sites you showed me the other day. Thanks
