Merry Christmas and welcome to the club of Vanagon owners whose vehicles
don't fit into their garage!  We're having our first really cold snap of the
year here, so I dutifully went out this morning to test the specific gravity
of the antifreeze.  Poor Wolfy is sitting at the foot of my driveway with
the occasional flake of snow wafting down upon him.  And to make matters
worse, I just read Phaedra's wonderful email from the sunny beaches of
Mexico!  No bad days, eh?
