 Hi, Regina.
 I took a break from the geocoder for a couple weeks, but I tried your
 latest version yesterday.  Seems to be getting a lot of the bugs worked
 out.  At first glance, it looks like it correctly geocoded 96% of a list
 of 5300 addresses.

 In this same list of 5300, I still have a small list of addresses that
 take a curiously long time to run. (about 2 1/2 minutes)

 The addresses seem pretty innocuous to me.  Can you take a look at these
 and see if you can figure out why they would take so long compared to all
 the other addresses?

 Thanks!
