I'm getting pretty good at picking up speed on the downgrade and
letting it
bleed off on the upgrade. Works pretty well, lets me stay in
overdrive, and
saves gas.

I just miss the manual tranny.
With all due respect, what you are missing is a vehicle designed
to tow something.

You don't want to be in overdrive while towing. An automatic,
designed for towing applications, will figure it out for you.

I have the same car. I tow in 4th, not in OD, and when necessary,
I downshift to third or lower. Much easier on the transmission.
You and John co-own the same car? No wonder youse guys are at each
others throat all the time.
Jim, I'm not at Krause's throat. I think I've address a comment to
him once
in the past month.
I was joking John.
I know! :)
Almost anyone could see that I think a lot of Harry. And I know he
thinks a
lot of me, 'cause he's talking to me all the time. He's a special guy.

Touching.


I'm enjoying Herring's little chuckie dots...I know he's just this side
of a stroke, what with just about everything in his political world
going the way opposite of what he wants.

What could be sweeter than Herring choking on a box of chuckie dots.




Thanks...it certainly did bear repeating!

BTW, that donation you made to the GOP...how do you think it looks on
Sarah's back as part of $150,000 wardrobe you helped pay for...I guess
it does mean you *can* put lipstick on a pig, eh?

When are you moving out of Virginia?

Right. It's just not fair. Obama has to pay for his own $1,400 suits.
Helps to connect to the middle class, you know.
Of course, his income from two "memoirs" pay for them. Or do they?

BTW .... how do you write two memoirs as a young man who really hasn't done
anything of importance yet?

He didn't write them.

Ayers did. :)

Ayers wrote the first one. The second one either Obama wrote or a different
ghost writer. 2nd one, not as well written and different style.

In your mind, perhaps, he's not done anything of importance. He's had a
remarkable life so far.

I don't know what Obama pays for his suits, but they're nothing special.
He might be a bit hard to fit because of his height and lack of
avoirdupois, though.

A $1000 is about average for a decent made to order man's business suit
these days, by the way. I wore one yesterday for a meeting downtown.
Boy, was I surprised...right after Labor Day, the client changed its
dress code to "business casual" except for board meetings and meetings
with "new investors." I was the only one there wearing a tie...but not
for long.

It might be true. He's 6'3" with a 30" inseam. That would require a
custom suit. As for the meeting - pure bull****. WAFA.

Went to a job interview once and rushing to make the train, put my
overcoat on over my shirt, forgetting my suit coat.
Didn't realize it until I was on the train.
This was when some "consultants" were expected to wear 3-pieces.
Got the job anyway.
I told one jomoca account manager who suggested I get a 3-piece,
"Sure, if I can expense it."
Never had one.
My wife got all my suits from rummage stores for 5 bucks.
One new Brooks Brothers she paid $20 for.
Of course that's me. I can understand others not wanting to possibly
wear the clothing of the deceased. I just figured the prev owners
gained weight and the suits wouldn't fit any more.
Doesn't matter. I did the suits proud. And I gots money for a boat.

When I stopped working I either gave or threw every business suit and tie I
had away.

I told everyone in my family, young and old, that if anyone of them planned
on getting married or dying, don't bother inviting me to the ceremonies,
because I won't wear a suit.

Did go to a wedding though .... decent pants, shoes and a shirt. No suit.
No tie.

6'3" with a 30" inseam means some short, squat legs. I'm 6'3.5" and I wear
a 33" inseam. But, since most casual clothes don't come in a 33", I have to
go to 34", or wear them 'low slung' - which really drives the girls crazy!
