Maggie's Farm

Someone sent me that wonderful commercial many months ago, and I've saved it for private enjoyment since. Right after my husband and I were married, and somewhat financially limited, we both owned Volkswagens. Mine I had brought down to Texas from Washington, D.C. He bought his after our marriage ... and we continued to own and enjoy them. I sold mine when it was ten years old to the teenaged daughter of the family next door, and she drove it for several years thereafter. I eventually bought a 1991 Volvo, which is now eighteen years old and still a wonderfu car, going strong for the old lady who loves it.

It'll probably be like the One Hoss Shay of O. W. Holmes and fall apart when it hits 100 years of age. All at once. Hope I last that long.

As for the Volkswagens, I wouldn't be surprised if they could contain an explosion. They can do darn near everything else very well.
