I am just trying to go to San Jose to visit my daughter and girlfriend , and
have a nice 3 day weekend.
I want to leave in a good mood :)
We will catch the *&^%^ and get Dave's car back...
Maybe I should write that book on corvair customers since 1974,and you guys
will really know why I do rare coins all day now :)
Happy holiday to all,
Larry
