PS - From my perspective, the posts to TriLUG should *ALWAYS* be  
about linux and closely tied to some problem/solution dealing with  
linux or other Open Source/Free Software.  It's value as an  
organization and an archived mailing list is in the quality of these  
posts, thus each OT post (regardless of how benign) lessens the value  
of the TriLUG archives.

If you want to chit-chat or talk about the different restaurants in  
the area, then you can/should do so on INW or the many other online  
discussion venues better suited to that task.  Just my $0.45 on the  
matter.  YMMV.
