Hmm...  I thought that the dollar is worth .87 Euros at the moment.  It's
been sliding lately, but nobody's noticed because of the dust thrown up by
the stock market.

In any case, let me take this opportunity to introduce myself.  I'm new to
the list, having just joined last night.  Name is Dave Baker, location is
Kansas City, and I recently acquired an 85 Westy Weekender which we
affectionately call "Wolfy."  30 years ago, when newly married, I had a 68
Westy which I dearly loved but, in a moment of insanity, let pass out of my
hands.  It's good to be back in the fold.

As far as Iceland is concerned, I'd love to be there, but doubt I'll be able
to make the trip.  My cousin is married to a lady from that fair island, and
they're all ok folks, as far as I am concerned.  And with regard to the
comment on "anti-American sentiment," you don't have to go outside the US to
find that!

Looking forward to reading and learning from your posts.

Dave
