OOooopsie. Guess we would have had to issue a formal posthumous apology.
But it was an honest mistake, Dick, it sure *sounded* like an unprompted
admission of guilt. The important thing, though, is it would serve as a
strong disincentive to future illegal dumpster-divers.

OB cars: 68 Plymouth Sport Suburban (think Fury III wagon). 5.2L (318 cu.
in.). 100 mph on 280, in Sunnyvale. Not smart, but got away with it. 120
mph on 290 west of Dripping Springs, Texas. Got away with that too, of
course. (Wups! Molten iron vat, here I come.) 220,000 mi, same engine but
one rebuild. I'll take on *any* of you guys in a passenger-miles per hour
contest - I have seat belts for 8 and have put 11 in the car at one time.

Wife's car is a 2000 Dodge Sport Caravan. 3.3L, will burn E85 ethanol but
they don't *&$& sell it in Texas! Sigh. Yes it has the spoiler on the back
end, and no it's not useless - it provides some shade for the back window.
Sigh. 1.5 years old, only been in the shop for recommended oil changes. One
of the stereo speakers is out, but that's the only problem so far.

I'll be good - next post will be about computers. I promise.
