And remember, never drive your Bimmer or Beemer after consuming quantities of Beamer. And no, given the rain today I will not be on my Beemer but will be delivering Christmas gifts snug and warm in my Audi :-> To those on the LUG that celebrate the day, have a very Merry Christmas. Bill I always wondered what a Beamer was - now I can guess that it is American slang for BMW! The LUG is a great educational source! Happy Christmas everybody, Frank - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
