Ari - Friday Fun & Innocent Games are rapidly growing to a close!

My '60 VW bug came from Germany via an American GI who bought it there
and shipped it back to the States when he came back.  What is
fascinating is that the original purchase price PLUS shipping it back to
the States was less than $1000.  I bought it six years later for $300
after my Dad advised me, about 4 months before I'd turn 16, that
whatever I got off my dead ass and saved, he'd match and we'd go looking
for a vehicle!  At the time, I wouldn't have minded a '38 Dodge dump
truck - I'd simply have rationalized that I could have carried a whole
lot MORE of my buddies around Naples, FL!!!

Pomeranians???  With all due deference to RUSTY, Poms are amongst the
poorest "fighters" that God ever created amongst the animal kingdom!
I've had to suture too many of them up afterwards.  That's NOT to say
they don't have HEART!  Just that they don't have the ABILITY!
They ARE troopers, though.
