Victor-
Remember this guy's last go round? Someone (I think it was John Sandhoff up at
CSUS {my
alma mater!}) said that this smelled of a student prank where they lurk on

in to try and start a flame war, then they count coup on how many flames they
receive.
Whatever happened to the drinking games that kept us amused in college?

to move her
out of the garage to retrieve baby stuff from the rafter storage space. She
still looks
fine in her Sora Blue - now to get her running!)
