Oh, Charlie; "Old Red", my '91 Plymouth Voyager (130K mi.+) blew a fuel pump down in Saco last week, and we rode back to Yarmouth (Ol' Red behind, me up front) with a AAA Wrecker, the driver of which related as to how he was one of the notorious "Parking Lot Pirates" in the Portland area in the Wintertime.

He was totally unaware, but quite amused to learn, that there is a rousing "Chanty" composed on his behalf!

I wish that I knew it well enough to sing to him during the ride... but pity; I don't.

Thought you'd like to know that. {8^{D~
