Thanks Willy!

Coming from you, that is welcome encouragement indeed! I love reading  
your stuff about the early CA scene in the Golden Era of the 50s,  
Long Beach, Riverside, Phil Hill etc.

I made it home to Houston New Year's Eve, as darkness fell, before  
all the drunks came out to play.

MADDness has descended on America! Lighted signs in CA advise calling  
911 to report drunks. In TX it's 'Drink, Drive, Go To Jail'. Now that  
point 0.08 has been universally adopted as the standard of evident  
unsobriety too much after-shave can put you in the clinker with Big  
Bruno. I think the next target of the Fun Police will be tasty food.

3,000 miles out and 3,000 back. 540i ran faultlessly, what a great  
road car!

Here's my best picture. 10 points to the first correct guess naming  
the town this was shot in.
