I loved my SS. I also picked up a 65 Chevelle two-door wagon about 5 years
later...and a 64 El Camino, which was very nice.

I don't think so. We were in a gay bar and suddenly it dawned on one of us
where we were. That's when we decided to leave. That cop was more
interested in our activities. He asked me how many drinks I had and I said
that I had one beer at the bar and then found out the place was for gays
and we left. He seemed satisfied with that reply.

My youngest daughter and her family live down there in Tampa Bay. They
seem to like it, as it's probably a lot nicer than the place where she
grew up. It's cold and old up there. She's like me; when I lived in San
Diego, I could see the snow on the mountain tops to the east and that was
as close as I'd want to get to it. My daughter and family just spent a
week in Colorado, snow skiing. After a week, it was great to get back home
and enjoy the warmth and sunshine again.
