He said, she said. Monday PM, just before "lights out":
ss      I was just watching "Hoarders" on TV.  How many VWs do we have ?
hs      Honest, Honey...  I will try to think about selling the '91
Caravelle, I know it's sat for four years and I know I need to let it
go to some deserving addict, er I mean fellow Van nut.
ss      How many bikes do you have now that you've got that new one?
hs      Honest, Honey...  Same as before (avoiding the number).  I
stripped all the parts off that old Bianchi.  You know,  that Celeste
green one that you liked the color of.
                        It's the last bike I'll get for some time.  Did I tell you it's
"full carbon and Ultegra everything"? That means it's LIGHT.  None of
the others are that light.
ss      You never answered me about the number of VWs.
hs      Honest Honey...   I will get rid of that parts Van at the cabin
once I strip all the good stuff from it.
ss      What about that brown one at Dan's?
hs      Oh that one?!  You mean the Assuan brown '85 Weekender pop top
camper?  I "gave" that one to my nephew Ben.
ss      OK, what about that orange and white Bus at the cabin?
hs      Oh, you mean the '73 Sportsmobile that starts up every time?
ss      Yes, the same one that looks like it's rusting to the ground.
hs      I'll drive it to the next OVT campout and see if anyone is
interested in it.
ss      That means you'll have to tag and insure it, huh?
hs      Well,  (pregnant pause) yes.
ss      Hmmph!  You never answered me about how many bikes.
hs      All of them or just the ones in the garage?
ss      ( as she rolls over with her back to me) Good Night!
hs      Good night , Honey. I love you and I know you must love me.
