Carps.... if it don't say Bonneville 200mph Club it counts... but it's only
good to keep the sun off your head and out of your eyes...

What cracks me up is that I don't even Wear Hats... and I am working on
getting a Silly Hat... Hated the darn things for 20 yrs in the Army... and
now I am on this chase... what a Hoot...

Ignorance is no excuse for shear stupidity in my case...
