Indeed. Although I should point out that I didn't get close enough to verify. It could have been a dromedary with a false second hump, just trying to look cool.

Well I AM in at the Inn (Spring hill suites Marriott on Rt 1 at rt 128) and I will be over to MoP about 7;30 Wed AM with luck they will provide a loaner or I can get one of their BMW salesmen to provide a test drive of the new 3 series... I want to see if it is as ugly in person as it is in the photos.... though it loks like they sat on Bangle a bit more with the 3 series than the uber ugly 7 series.......
if MoP finishes the service early enough to beat the afternoon rush hour I will head home tomorrow afternoon othewise I will do another night here and head home thur AM
and I burn my socks about april15th each year... I hate to wear socks

News Flash.... Got a message from 3M today. Anyone hear from Pez???

[bakerjc]

The scoop on Pez and 3M:

I understand there's a splinter group forming.......something about kicking Steve's ass in the parking lot. Or all the parking lots. Something like that.

...or stepping on his toes (see above).

I've been in somewhat frequent communication with Pezboy. He's alive.

No socks? Big deal. Yesterday at work it got too hot so I took my jeans off and worked in my boxers. So there!

[bakerjc]

Work. Right.

Like you really work.

Not a pretty sight!

Jason,
You don't want anything in the boot on a track day. Don't take unnecessary stuff to the track as you'll only have to take it out for the runs. Try to find two plastic totes that fit in the MINIs boot and put stuff in that. Keep one for car type stuff (take spare oil etc if you're really paranoid) and keep one for the 'clean' stuff that you have to take out of the car during the runs. You'll have to take *everything* out of the car including floor mats. If it looks like rain, a plastic tote for all that stuff is essential. Consider taking a spare T shirt / shirt as you'll get surprisingly hot and sweaty and it's nice to ride home clean..! HTH

Sartorial Splendors galore

Hey all I'm back. A weekend at the Baseball Hall of Fame in cooperstown, then off to my grandfather's funeral. A lot of catching up to do. A few thousand miles on the mini this weekend, and a few thousand more bugs on the windshield to clean off!

(Good to hear someone else use the term package store...I often confuse people who have no idea what that means!)

I used to love bitter lemon when I was a kid (yes, I drank it straight!). But I remember schweppes discontinued it and you could no longer get it. I think Polar made one similar, but not nearly as good.

The myth is missed. See you On Top Pezboy.

Damn. I was watching the National Spelling Bee the other evening and it brought back painful memories of my experience with that event.

I made it to the finals and was asked to spell Relief.
Now I knew the rule about I before E, except after C and all that.
Under pressure and national TV coverage I panicked.
I blurted with out thinking R-O-L-A-I-D-S

BTW Netflix has an excellent documentary, Spellbound.http://www.spellboundmovie.com/
Not to be confused with the Hitchcock thriller of the same name

MOT I

The scene opens as Maureen and I pull into Loon thinking we are the first people there. Our balloon is punctured however when this kid with the weird tattoos pulls in and said he had been there, gone, and come back. First at MOT goes to the Pezzer.
