Now, Bill: I have even been married more than once or twice; I understand a
fellow can change his mind. And, my dear old daddy also told me long ago,

needs to get off as soon as he can and catch one going the right way. There
is no question a defiant will take longer, even if it is just one extra
engine job longer. <g> jesse farr
