[Shotimes] OT- Looking for Taurus SLO dlist

[Mike.Wojton@us.o-i.com]

You may be right about 3 of 4 posts starting out car related, but
only 1 of them will remain so for more than a half a day!  : )  (unless
it's about tires)

It only takes one word to veer off the path.  Like beer, or computers.
And now cheese, of all things.

Don't get me wrong.  I don't mind.  Heck, it's my main source of
entertainment throughout the day!
