Here is some blatant thread drift:

I just talked to Chris and Kat---and they had an amazing tale to tell me.

It seems they were on their way home from Libertyville, IL where they had just picked up a new heavy-duty powered wheel chair for me---something I've needed for the last 3 years!!! It was listed in a local ad paper for a fairly low price, so they called and wound up going over to see it.

Get this folks: The thing's list price is $9,850.00 -- right? You can often buy it new for half that amount if you know where to go for it.

Bottom line is they got it for one hundred dollars. The people just wanted to get it out of their apartment!!

I'm blown away. For 3 years I've procrastinated about jumping through the hoops to get something like one of these after my old electric scooter quit working. Folks, when the snow melts I'm gonna be a ramblin' fool -- all over town. Tell Jack Elliott to change his name because Ramblin' Art will be on the loose! It's called a Jazzy 1170XL if anyone wants to see it.

Chris and Kat are just the best! There is nothing more to tell ya.

As I said, sorry for the thread drift!!
