Hi Ken, I just got a call from the Chicago Police this morning asking if it was okay if they put my car on the hot sheet. I told them it would have been better if they did it two days ago. The bureacracy rolls on.
I don't know what I'll replace it with. Although I'm working for WPP, I'm still freelance. So for the first time in many years, I don't really owe allegiance to any one company. But I am thinking about a Mountaineer or Explorer. I like the new engine and the six-speed automatic. I'll have to see what kind of deals are out there. Perhaps they'll sign me on here and give me a car allowance, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Tough times in Motown. Paul > >And I'd say the investigation is over. > > You never know.
