This article is not by wjr, but a guest on his account, so flame STella 
Calvert.  Better yet, flame Atlanta.

hadn't hit PA, NY, CT, or WV as of my last (a few weeks ago) trip  through.
I called the local distributor at my destination (Romney, WV), and they said
they hoped to have it by Labor Day.  I then called Get-coke, and they said it
would probably be national by September, but it was up to the bottlers.

BTW, all we can get around here in glass bottles is the gross new taste of
Croke (does it really use dead frogs as a flavoring?  I'm not sure I believe
it, but you sure couldn't disprove it by the taste!).  If you're within 
four or five hours driving time of Boston, and can
give me a pointer for the classic thing in the classic bottle (glass
crown seal half-liters preferred, but any glass bottle would be good news),
send me mail.  I will post a summary if you wish.  If you're further than five
hours from here, send me mail anyway, come to think of it -- will be useful
when we vacation, and will make the summary more useful to the net.  Besides,
if we have to drive to Alberta to get the real thing, we have to.  (The
reaction of a border-guard when I give the purpose of the trip as coke 
smuggler might be amusing anyway.  Or maybe not....:-)----| )
