Leon shows off the 'other side' of his brain
I couldn't stand for this eloquent prose to flow and go basically unseen by
the masses. Pat raised the question of Leon replacing 'Bozo' and Leon got sentimental! I mean he did it up right and said it like allot of us wish we could and for that matter we all hope to have as many great adventures as it seems Leon has with his faithful miata!

That was a rather good post. All this time I thought that Leon was purely scientific with no real emotions, and it turns out he is more sappy than a maple tree. Now that we know the truth, I'll bet he cried harder than any of us when Old Yeller died. ;-) Leon has definitely traveled far more extensively in his miata than most of us here. It takes a lot of time, motivation, and of course, money. Still, not too bad an investment in my opinion. I have the motivation, just need more free time and money. Pat |

Just get a job teaching rocket science with summers off. Nice post, Leon. --- Lanny Chambers '94C, St. Louis http://www.hummingbirds.net/alignment.html |

My apologies, BTW. 5+ years of car discussion and the fact that I use your alignment settings is pretty good proof that I don't think you are an idiot, and you were correct, it was not my best day(s) in my life. Peace, Pat |

No sweat. We all have days like that. With luck, you'll cut me a little slack on my next one, even if I act like an idiot. :-) --- Lanny Chambers '94C, St. Louis http://www.hummingbirds.net/alignment.html |

You can forgive me all you want, but I'll be watching you, ready to insult people named Lanny, the city of St. Louis, hummingbirds, '94C red miatas and anything else I can think of. ;-) Thanks Lanny, Pat |
