another reason everything i run has a gutted cat..

dont bother to flame me, the vision of potential flames taking over jeff's
van was enough reason for me, and if you dont approve, c'est la vie..

anyway, glad u made it home ok jeff.  could have been the end of your van
right there in the sheetz parking lot.
that would have been a big "OH SHEEEETz!!!!!"

for those who dont approve, go yell at some big old dumptruck puking black
diesel exhaust into the sky, not me in my little van.  :<)
