To those that feel discriminated against, those who feel sorry for
themselves I say: You only have yourselves to blame. Y'could-a gotten
Westies, y'could-a parked them in the desert sun or spontaneously
combusted to melt the rubbery bumpers ... and y'could-a been born in the
US of A where any citizen, regardless of background or religion or choice
of breakfast cereal, has the constitutionally-given freedom to own rubbery
bumpers in the first place.

But ya didn't, did ya?

(Voice of reasonable adult): Okay, this thread has gone on long enough and
it's gotten silly. I started it looking for advice, got the information I
needed, many thanks to all. But it's time to relinquish this thread to the
dust heap of gerry's long memory.

Back to our regular diet of, as Jim Felder says, tires.

... tires. (grimaces)
