<VV> Speaking of tires...

[John Beck]

I'd read it.  When I was a teenager my dad told me to mount some snow
tires that were in the garage.  I surveyed the problem for a while,
pushed, pounded, shoved, cursed.  I finally tooke the project to a gas
station when my dad wasn't around.  He never asked and I never told.  It
would be good to see what I was supposed to do.  --J.B.
