The children's programming on the local PBS station had run it's course
this past Saturday.  That d*mn purple dinosaur had turned back into a
stuffed toy, much to the joy of parents everywhere.  My four year old son
wasn't feeling too well so I let him just lie on the couch and watch
whatever happen to come on.  "This Old House" started and I heard nary a
peep of protest from son #1.  I was in the kitchen unloading the dishwasher
and cleaning up the carnage, the result of a 18 month old learning to use a
spoon.  All of a sudden, from the play room, son #1 shouts "Dad!!  There's
a bus like yours on the TV!"  Sure enough, Steve, the host, is walking with
a US Park Service ranger on a tour of the old Boston Navy yard.  They stop
and chat in front of a later-style, blue (maybe it was grey) Westy -
probably a '88 to '91 - for a minute or so, during which the Westy is in
full glory.  My son was very excited about this...
