OK, that sounds almost exactly like the one I put together last
year, except I got a 6-12 foot fiberglass telescoping handle from the
Home Despot. Only problem, as I mentioned, is that after several
trips to sandy locations the handle no longer telescopes :-( You
have to be conscientious about cleaning it after trips.

Oh, I also dyed the bag brown. I know that in theory the bag is
replacable, but how the hell do you do it? If you figure out how to
get it out of the rail let me know.

One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was
going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead
I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said.
"Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think
that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I
started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was
getting pretty late.
