Words and the Zen Cynic

Never test the depth of the water with both feet

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

There are two theories about arguing with women. Neither one works.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.

US preparations for invading Iran are complete:

The report, by authoritative defence expert Dan Plesch, says American military operations for Iran "extend far beyond targeting suspect WMD facilities and will enable President Bush to destroy Iran's military, political and economic infrastructure overnight using conventional weapons."

Plesch, who is known to be well-connected and well-networked at the very highest reaches of the trans-Atlantic political and defence establishment, quoted unnamed British military sources to say that "the US military switched its whole focus to Iran" as soon as Saddam Hussein was kicked out of Baghdad.

Apple Pie,
I saw no Morgan. If you are looking at the yellow car near the botton , it's a Lotus 7. The third car down is an Aston Martin DB-2 Coupe, fairly rare. It appeared in convertible form in Alfred Hitchcock's, The Birds, as the get away car toward the end of the movie. I also noticed a Facel Vega which are getting more rare, especially that vintage which I would say was mid to late 60's.

The yellow Lotus 7 was ID'd as a Europa however I assure you it is a 7. I owned a Europa in 1973-74 and I'm preparing to build a Lotus 7 reproduction.

Dibs on the Triumph TR-4 or it might be a TR-250. It's a red car way way down toward the end.
The TR-4,TR-250 had the same body but different motors.

Skookumchuk, Believe it or not I spent about a half hour trying to find an article on the A-R symbol. When I finall came upon the one cied I scanned it briefly and posted.

THEN I wnet back and discovered it was something that sounded like it can from "The Onion".

I do recall in my 40+ years of reading Road & Track that the Saracen baby is indded what is in the mouth of the serpent but the rest is lost in the memory fog.

Sorry about not reading the piece more closely but in between the hookum there is a wee bit of truth.

The good thing is I think this qualiies me for a froont page writer for the New York Times., or a blogger for John Edwards.....if that is good news.

Buddy,
A tio ur two on combover methods that have been popular for years with us hair challenged guys.

#1 allow your ear hair to grow to it's maximim, especially that which grows directly from the top of the ear. This can add easily added volume.
#2 bronzing tan cremes added to you monthly shampoo they give that Charles Barkley/Michael Jordan shine.
#3 dirty hair. adds volume and color although one has to learn to ignore any irritating critter digging into the scalp.
#4 add a scab...what color are scabs? brown..just allow a few critter colonies to atually draw small quantities of blood, allow to coagulate on scalp and from 30-40 feet away folks think you got the Bosley treatment!!
Good luck, I know it worked for my neice in Mississippi.
