<VV> Convention Numbers

[Smitty]

Smitty Says.  Sorry if I offended Ron, Jay and maybe others with my shot at the Californinans.  I started off actually making an observation and just added a little leg pulling.  Maybe I got out of hand.  
     From here on in this post I will be dead serious..  I will start by saying it is just as far to CA from here as it is from here to CA.  The distance and mountains has never been a consideration when I went to conventions over the years.  I went to San Jose, LA, Albuquerque. Portland, Tahoe, and others out West driving my wagon and towing my Camper.  For Jax, Ceder Rapids and Denver I used a newer car to haul the camper.  I would still game to do it with the wagon but out of consideration for my wife I chose to go and have the air conditioning.  She was a real trooper over the years traveling with me in the wagon but age does have it's disadvantages in heat tolerance.  I have earned my stripes over the years and don't intend to back down from someone wimping to me about how old their car is or how high the hills and passes are.  I could go on but I think I have made my point.
