but I wouldn't be surprised to
learn that the state of the RV business is not that different
from the
boat business
There is a RV dealer down the highway from me - he still has 2003
models in stock. I don't know what that means exactly, but...

Why would anyone in his right mind buy an RV these days, with fuel
hovering at $3+ a gallon and the ****-poor mileage those vehicles get?




Same reason why would anyoen buy a decent sized boat. They enjoy
the device. Lots of these RV'ers that full time, do not drive that
many miles a year. Maybe 5000. And at about 7-8 mpg, the extra
cost for fuel is not a big item in the overall cost. And people who
use the RV for weekend trips drive even less a year.



Yeah, driving is so much fun, and driving a barge is even more fun.


Who peed in your Special-K this morning?



Oatmeal, the old fashioned kind, with a banana.


Oatmeal is much easier when you are losing your teeth, it guess it just
slides down without any chewing.
