OK,OK, I got the picture -

But, was it snowing - and was it uphill both ways??

(still messen wich ya - )

Reminds me of back-in-the-day, when I was living in CT. It was a spring day and it had rained all night. I headed to work in my MGB at our corporate HQ, dressed in a suit, when I approached some standing water on a back road.

Yep, I thought I could make it, almost did, but then the engine quit running. A good ol boy, in a pickup stopped and helped me push it out of the water. I took off my T-shirt and used it to dry out the distributor cap and she fired up.

Walking around all day in squishy shoes reminded me of my Army days.


THE END
