If you guys can wait until the second week in May, I can maybe bring
my car down. Chance (17 year old grandson) and I took it to the KBGO
Cruise Night the 1st Saturday of the month.
Right now I'm in Meridian, MS, on my way to The Mitty. I'll probably
be spending a couple of nights with a high school frien in Auburn on
my way home next week. And no, I'm NOT driving the roadster. I'm in
the Accord with a whole lot of audio and camera gear and a few
clothes! :>)
