"Assume" = "Ah, so sue me."

That was my 14th birthday in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was a good day for me.

I've been in car accidents with seat belts on and off. I got hurt either way, and I have the scars to prove it.

Thanks for the story. The most unbelievable part for me was that you bought a 1964 Comet.

Let's just say I missed out on an entire orchestra nearby playing Wagner while I cavorted with several mildly unattractive women...However, I do recall several college evenings at my apartment, enhanced by Glenn Yarborough on the stereo...

Thomas Sowell, if I recall, had a succinct way of explaining the tradeoffs that happen in all alleged solutions to problems. We're not all in the same boat, nor in the same seatbelt, it seems.

And thanks for the plug!
