What a second, old Ed. I had just finished undercoating mt car when you
called, and by the time I had gotten all that crap off my hands, face, hair,
and ears, I was quite explosive from the acetone fumes. Good thing I wasn't
able to make it, though. I just realized my insurance has lapsed.
My apologies to our friends from Down Under.
