 There's no ObSalinger reference here except tonight's desire to get off
 crazy Broadway onto some more uncongested block, but I must ask:  Where,
 oh where, can one find such a great raincoat?  Mine is in tatters, and I
 ask not only for me but for a friend of mine name of Caulfield, whose 
 raincoat (along with his gloves) was stolen by some yellow bastard in 
 prep school.
 
 Besides, Camille -- after taxicabs, horses are the next most popular
 mode of transportation here in New York.  At least horses are *human*!

First I'd like to say that was a very astute observation by Camille and that 
I'm going to go right out and buy a horse to go with my raincoat.

Next, and this will make perfect sense after the above dialog, there are only 
two places I've ever seen them.

1. A western wear store on Church Street in Orlando.

2. A western wear store on route 11 in Penn. between I-78 and the 
Pennsylvania Turnpike (where I purchased mine).  It was $160 there and worth 
every penny.
