[s-cars] spun a bearing and stuff....

[LL - NY]

Tom,

You must feel like a sub caption (load the forward torpedo tubes, the Jetta,
load the rear tubes) or a captian from Star Trek (arm the forward phasers).
Sounds like you had a little fun over a sad situation. I'd ask what the
status of the UrS was, but then again I'd hate to ruin the mood!

Happy Holidays - and happy hunting!

LL - NY
