Actually Mayf, KT has a point. About the ONLY time I get to
socialize is when I am in line. Fortunately (?) many friends
are also in line and it is about the only chance I get to walk
around and talk to folks. It seems pit time is too short &
valuable to wander about - unless the car is broke & then I
don't want to talk to anybody anyway :(
