This evening, on the same trip into Sidney that I saw the 2 California
westies, I had an uncharacteristic fraternal idea.

What if we all (meaning list members) decide on a day and time to celebrate
our Vanagon ownership?

Maybe toot our horns?

Can imagine members discovering hitherto unknown list member neighbours, or
just a plaintive beep in the wilderness.

What would be an appropriate date?

The first or last day of Vanagon production?

The birthday of Ben whats-his-name who invented the first VW van?

Feast day of St, Jude patron saint of lost causes - "bearded man holding an
oar, a boat, boat hook, a club, an axe or a book; nearly every image depicts
him wearing a medallion with a profile of Jesus, and usually with a small
flame above his head; often carries a pen or sits at a writing location to
make reference to the canonical". The description is eerily like many male
list members - minus the medallion.

What do you all think?
