With the top down huh! Rub it in. Every spring I get the urge to have
another roadster or convertible so I take the top off the jeep. After two or
three good snow storms, lots of wind, and a couple of good soakings the
roadster craving fades and it's over for another year. Here it's either too
cold or too hot to be without the top. Having a shortage of hair makes it
worse. /jnm
