   I hear there is a move on in New York by mayor Bloomberg (I sent this to your   
   email address this morning) to deprive prople of having a gun if they have a   
   traffic ticket of any kind.  That isn't going to stand up at the USSC.

   I didn't!  (-:

   I'm all for that.  If a call is so important, pull to the shoulder of the road   
   where you won't endanger others.   
      
    RW>> Unless of course, the volume on the radio or CD player is so high   
    RW>> that they can hear you coming for miles.   
      
    RN> Like a ghetto-blaster?   
      
    RW> Boom box in the trunk! I can hear them coming for miles.   
      
   There is one in the '99 Yukon here and I haven't figured out which wires to   
   disconnect.  That's why I drive the 1996 M-B.   
      
    RW> That's why the tell you to use both hands on the wheel, but with   
    RW> them placed at 10 and 2 o'clock. You don't have to let go of the   
    RW> wheel that way.   
      
   My cross handed style back then confused some passengers and frightened others.   
      
    RN>> I haven't had a babe in 5-years.  Too bad.  I really liked her.   
      
    RW>> They're nice to have, most of the time. There are other occasions

    RN> Yes.  (-:

   Isn't that what they're for?  (-:[
