Greetings,
I am a reasonably competitive type A nitwit. However, this is a monthly
competition that I do not care to enter (I might add that I would win hands
down). Fred, sleep well tonight. There will aways be a bigger bonehead and
another car in front of yours (no matter how hard you try to pass them
all). My latest mishap could easily win the world cup.
