Dear sensitive Jake.

It's posted with the warning "Sad Story". Don't read it if you don't
want. It's Westy related, it's part of our community.

May the parents somehow get over this, I just don't see how.

If you are talking about the piece of plywood, that's a warning for
all of us. I was just going to thank David for making me rethink the
piece of warped 1/2 inch sitting in the back of my pickup. It could
have just as easily been put on top of a van and blown away if not
secured correctly. We have all seen that happen, usually without major
mishap.

Whatever. What is your problem?
