Yeah! Spit Pilots Rule!!! Do we know how to LIVE! or what?!
The other day, I was sitting at a stop light-on a perfectly beautiful summer
day-and I look at the car next to me-a Miata-with top up (oh, of course!)
and I sort of look at the woman driving it like "Phhht-poor thing!" and she
looked at me and __put the top down at the red light!__. I felt almost as
if I'd saved someone! ;-)

and chowder at Neptune's net and a beer at Duke's!-Great day! What a champ!)
