Ray, Sorry but I was just outside. I think its about mid-sixties with high
overcast. I have not yet had time to go back to try to locate the errent
address of the mythilogical big Healey. Roland thinks I need to spend more time
on the TR3 instead of galavanting about in the still working cars.
Now for some additional bad news (for you at least). The land movement is north
& south. So the part of California on the west side of the San Andrais will not
detach itself & plop into the briney deep. Its just going south. One of these
days, maybe a couple of hundred million years from know, San Francisco and LA
will be side by side neighbors. If you think they are squabling now, just wait
until then!
I would like to help you out with your frozen Bug eye, but while trying on
Daren's bugeye I have discovered that my legs are just too long for the car.
I just have to find a big Healey as a solution for the small Healey impaired.
Take care, maybe the mice are hibernating,
TeriAnn
