Re: Bronco Busting or now I put my foot in it



Jenny, Jenny, Jenny!  You need to learn to mello out.  Instead of worrying
about what others drive, how they park, who is wasting fuel, look at the
great things that are happening around you.  You have an Audi, which is
nice.  You unloaded your Trooper on some poor camp which is nice for both
partys.  You sound gainfully employed, and hopefully your health is good.
Every morning that you wake up is a great day!

I love my fuel wasting 'Burb when I tow my fuel wasting boat almost as much
as my fuel wasting chipped 200 20v.
