hairdog, Welcome to the mid forties! Sorry I'm late with the virtual birthday wishes but I have just got back from a fantastic vacation of two weeks in Florida and 1 week in Devon (England). You have it so great over there in the USA and I love it there. I lived there as a child (New Jersey) and have since been on several vacations to Manhattan and Florida. As soon as you step off the plane you can smell the freedom. Plenty of space and time. Everyone is so polite and friendly. The roads are straight and wide and cars drive at a nice slow pace. Everything is so CHEAP!!! All you can eat and drink for 5 at Sizzler for 40 dollars. In Devon I just paid £50 ($80) for a one course meal with one drink (can of coke). And you have the delicious Mountain Dew! And your gas is so cheap. You don't know how lucky you are. I paid as low as $1.73 a gallon although it was more generally 1.89 I think. You are probably not aware that in England, gas (we call it petrol) is currently £0.83 per litre which is £3.14 per US gallon or approximately $5.34 US dollars per gallon!!! It costs me $80 to fill my Alfa Romeo - Oh - one problem with the USA - no Alfa Romeos. Some European cars Jag, BWM, Merc but not many. No Italian. No French. Mostly Ford, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Honda, Acura and monster Dodge trucks. Mind you we have no US cars over here other than the occasional classic cars. My dad had a white '63 Chevy Impala Bel Air when I lived there. We loved it's huge size and blue seats. Anyhow this has nothing to do with the subject so this is the latest from SuperDave's love life:
