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.               RN> One of my acquaintances is a Harvard Law grad and he wouldn't swap        RN> his M-B for anything, but that did not influence me in the least,        RN> considering how I feel about lawyers.              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.               R\%/itt                     ...
