Wrong! Pinewood Derby is a Boy Scout thing... boys and their Dads make wooden cars and race them. When my son was a boy scout, it was the point at which no women were allowed, and hence (as a single parent) I couldn't support his entry, and he dropped out of the program in frustration. Oh well.
Anyway, many men never got over the experience of carving little cars out of soft wood (and even soap bars) and now there are extensive races and car designs. (some people play hurdy gurdies, and some carve little race cars)...here's a site: http://members.aol.com/randywoo/pine/ Judith Lindenau, CAE, RCE Executive Vice President Traverse Area Association of Realtors www.taar.com www.judithlindenau.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Graham Whyte Sent: Saturday, October 14, 2006 7:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [HG] Rocking horse?
