Seems to me that you might ought to learn at least a little insurance
speak as well as a general understanding of taxes.... save you a bundle,
probably...  :)   Here, we both deal with insurance (pretty much as a
team), and I do the taxes, but he checks my work, mostly the math...
Hopefully if I go first, he'll be able to take over the taxes without
too much angst.... ;)

I'd imagine so..   ;)

I suppose that was a bonus.... ;)   

 BS> It'd be nice to have it back, I know a guy who might buy it, although
 BS> his grandmothers ears perked up when I said it was forsale and you know

 BS> Andretti" when she consistently did a 4 wheel drift (Dodge Caravan) on
 BS> the gravel turning onto the road to her place.

That's the granny you are talking about being Maria Andretti...?  Or
Connie....  Certainly wouldn't put it past a grandmother to want a
sporty little car, though...  ;)

 BS> While he's ridden in it

 BS> why would he pay much attention.  Did that trip again yesterday in the

 BS> it's a weekly trip, just not in one day. 

Have you recovered yet...?  (G)  I'm looking at a fairly hefty trip next
month... haven't figured out the mileage yet, but first leg is about 9
hours from what I see, then a couple of maybe 2 1/2 hour trips, then
that 9 hours home again...  Rochester NY to Portland ME, then to
Merrimack NH and back to Portland... then back home... leaving on a
Saturday, the NH trip is Monday/Tuesday, looks like I'll wait till the
Thursday to come home.... I'm staying with a good friend in Portland...
