Ahhh, yes the Whatever 35. What a helluva boat! I should never have
included it with the others. Anyone I know would feel privileged to get
their hands on a fabled Whatever 35. They don't make 'em like that
anymore! Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

As for N.O. to St. Pete being a "quick" drive, we've done a lot of
travelling over the years, and that one is shorter than a lot of runs
we typically make, even for a quick visit, e.g. Seattle to San Diego to
visit my wife's dad. Perspective is everything.

Having a lead foot doesn't hurt, either.

Frank, fato profugus
