The hobby pervades all, doesn't it? Today we put up our tree. We got a
monster - 12 feet tall (high ceilings are the norm in Florida). The helper
at the charity where we bought it said he sold a 9 footer to a guy in an
MGB. Out of instinct I asked if it was chrome bumpered and if it was for
sale. My wife almost had him put the tree in the car and me on the roof.
