[Shotimes] Merry Christmas...

[van Oss]

We here in La Crosse send you best wishes for a peaceful, blessed Christmas 
and a prosperous and healthful new year.  That goes double for Jason H. and 
all other service men and women out there doing it for the rest of us.

SHOtimers, thank you (or y'all, if you prefer) for all the help and 
friendship you have given me over the years.  If it weren't for you, I might 
have been taken out by the crank sensor (The Case of the $600 Spark Plug), 
or the failing ICRM (The Faulty Fuel Affair), or given up entirely during 
The Episode of the Blend-Door Motor.  Also, without you (or y'all), the 
third week of July wouldn't be one tenth as much fun.
