Hi, Ray.

I stopped by to see the Mystery Machine at your place just before your
daughter went to UAB in it. I was in my yellow westy.

I still see her around here on weekends, and we always exchange waves!

I have pictures of this most excellent-looking vanagon if anyone wants
to see them.

And John, there aren't too many vanagons around north Alabama but I
usually get a wave from them.
