I'm sort of BM>> thinking the Lisa Douglas' mindset (Green Acres TV show -- long enough BM>> ago you may have seen a segment or two ). And even with current BM>> real life there are the "you're a tourist" give-aways: the natives BM>> don't wear , or at least not as depicted on TV and movies.

NB>> Sounds likely... :) BM> They probably brought the delicate parasol, clothing, etc., they had BM> along, found it didn't hold up, and then purchased a purchased a BM> pretty replacement that was sturdier, so met both needs. Quite possible... :) NB>>> There you go... List all of that ton of books you did read... and then NB>>> a paragraph of how badly you felt when it turned out that someone else NB>>> had read more than you had.... Maybe even a sentence wondering if the NB>>> winner had read books that were much shorter than the ones you read... NB>>> Or was it based on how many pages read already... BM>> Sounds like I should have written my What I Did Last Summer report in BM>> the style of a therapy session!! Oh the humanity! I read only the one BM>> _War and Peace_ while the winner won with the Dr. Suess series! NB>> Reading contests Should be based on how many pages, at least.... Or NB>> maybe, even better, how many words.... You'd spend most of the NB>> summer just counting the words... ;) BM> Ugh! Even Dr. Suess only went to two! (One fish, two fish.) How about Bartholomew and the many hats....? I suppose one could do a fairly accurate estimate from just counting the words on one page and then multiplying by how many pages in the book... ;) BM>>> Almost got to find out: car grill got damaged by the hail storm. $50 BM>>> for the silver replacement option, $75 for the black one (like on the BM>>> car now). YouTube does have a video someone shot of them replacing a BM>>> grill and headlight on same model; think the year was off by one. To BM>>> replace the grill also need to remove the bumper. Ummm.... The OEM BM>>> grill is close to double in price, labour isn't horrible, still below BM>>> the deductible. On the list: huge backlog due to other body work from BM>>> the storm including their 400+ cars on the lot. NB>>> Good news is that they have work to do, I guess.... BM>> I think they might have preferred to have been bored! One dealer BM>> seems to be advertising selling off their hail-damaged inventory as-is BM>> (with dents) while the dealer where our grille will be replaced seems BM>> to be fixing some, though drove by the lot earlier this week and was BM>> relatively empty, so maybe sold off the more-costly to repair BM>> inventory?? NB>> Or maybe the collision shop was full.... :) BM> That could be! Those darn spherical hailstones could be like driving BM> on ball bearings! Very hazardous job, then... BM>>> Hmm: I'm going to have to check that out: I have some sort of heating BM>>> to my side mirrors and just assumed when the heat was on some went to BM>>> the mirrors. Trouble is my trips are short -- even when working -- so BM>>> no time for a correlation to develop if maybe I need to have the front BM>>> and/or rear defroster/defoggers on also. NB>>> There's some defrosting to the side window when you have the heat on NB>>> (there's likely a special vent directed that way, like my car has), NB>>> but the mirrors wouldn't be affected by that... In my experience the NB>>> mirror defroster is operated by the same switch as the rear NB>>> defroster/defogger in any car I've driven with that option... BM>> Right: did find in the manual there is heat directed to the side BM>> mirrors when the rear window defogger is on. Suppose would have BM>> figured that out if I needed to drive more than ten minutes anywhere! NB>> As long as you had turned on the rear window defogger... ;) BM> Which I sometimes did: parked in the driveway the rear of the car BM> faces East and there have been times when leaving later the back end of BM> the car was clear so no need to turn on that defogger, so no heat the BM> to side mirrors. At least most of the time, though, if the back window was clear, chances would be that the side mirrors would also be, as they face the same direction.... ;) NB>>>> Yup... you weren't looking for them before... :) It's like buying (or NB>>>> thinking about buying) some make of car and suddenly, you see them NB>>>> everywhere.... BM>>> There are a ton of gray or white or black cars (the other car is a BM>>> darker gray); there are only a few of us yellow cars! NB>>> Well, that would make you stand out anyway... ;) BM>> It's generally easy to find my car in a full parking lot! NB>> As long as you indeed are the only yellow car there.... ;) BM> Usually a few but still not that common. :) True. :) ttyl neb ....
