Jaguar's Daimler is not related to DaimlerChrysler's Daimler, except that they both had connections to Gottlieb Daimler about 110 years ago...

Joachim and Belinda and our fuzzballs Hobi, Lucky, and Leander, ...and our bridgekid Griffin, in Houston, TX beekj@ghg.net Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace. Milan Kundera |
