I hope I don't get to that point any time soon.  I do like to travel around
some.  Though there are times when it's a real relief to be out from behind
the wheel,  after having been there for hours and hours...

(Yesterday I felt this way.)

I'm not sure who's making their stuff.  Never found anybody near their
batteries to ask any questions of,  either.

These days I think I prefer to go to Sears for batteries.
