In 1972, the leader of one of the very tiniest countries (Tonga) imported a grosser 600 to drive around his island nation (8 miles of roads). Unfortunately, the 600 arrived sans key so it sat on the docks for two months waiting for a replacement key from Germany. On Mon, Apr 29, 2019 at 4:09 PM

True. However, I don’t have servants, but I do have family members that would help out in times of need. Heck, if I could get someone else to drive me around that would be great! I would still want to have the ability to come and go as I please, toothere’s much to be said for independence.

Best wishes to Mitch and Andrew for speedy recoveries. My old doctor, who used to teach surgery at MSU in the 1970s, had both of his knees replaced in one surgery session. Obese guy, probably best to minimize his exposure to anesthesia. The next day he drove 20 miles to pick up his grandkids
