    RN> What?  And have me try to ride around with no balance in the rain?   
      
   It's a low rider, so you can drag your feet and keep your balance.   
      
    RN> No one would sell me insurance.  (-:   
      
   I know where you can get insurance for anything.

   My step-son, who lives in Hollywood, gets his uncle's hand-me-down MBs   
   when the old codger decides that he's done-with-that-one. The step-son has   
   a thing-a-ma-jig that he has to breathe into before attempting to start   
   the engine. 43 years old, still single and drunk most of the time. The   
   other day there was a high-low-speed chase on the 101 in Hollywood covered   
   by Fox News (dunno why). It was a black MB with an open moon roof and the   
   first thing I thought of was that it was Michael on one of his drunken   
   binges again.   
      
    RN> There was one I trusted in my lifetime that I used to play golf with.   
    RN>  He was true to his word, which is not the norm for those guys.   
      
   I'll say! Speaking of trust reminds me. On the 14th, we're going down to   
   SA to a Grand Opening of the newly remodeled Bensen Chevrolet dealership.   
      
   I expect to meet Tom Bensen while we're there...or else he'll be a no-show   
   and we can enjoy the evening.
