Yeah! Rich and I (and several thousand attendees of the auto show) know that. But now all our colleages on the forum will be disappointed.

LOL. Not to be biased or anything, but I had always believed that owls took really bad pictures, but after seeing your work, I clearly stand corrected.

Darn right it's impressive. Do you realize how difficult it is to hold a D-SLR with these little claws?

Sledge,

Even though you are one of the bigger owls I know, I still don't see how are big enough to both steer and accelerate your HCH at the same time. Is there something I am missing?

As Sledge said, *There's always next year.*

I did check this site Saturday am before goimg to Cobo to see if you had checked in. And Rich, Sledge, and I waited for a while by the Louis statue in Cobo hoping you would show.

Who would know that you, your car, and your computer would all be sick or wounded at the same time? I hope both your personal and acquired systems reboot normally soon.

Wow, that's taking full advntage of aerodynamics. Wouldn't it have been easier to have rigged something up to the steering wheel?

Oh yeah, and I'd also like to apologize again, who knew so many people there wanted my autograph? It was embarassing, signing all those copies of the FEH FAQ, especially the salespeople and models from Ford...How could I refuse their pleasant requests? And for delaying us by having to explain how usefull the MPG displays were to the BMW engineers! Maybe next year I'll go incognito!
