Yes, but the temperature in Goshen will continue to drop as the calendar moves

Just wait until January or February when the Alberta Clippers come through.

A lot of S500 beaters, although you do see the occasional diamond in the rough.
There is a guy over in Clearwater who has been trying to sell a mid 90s S500

Pretty sure that term does not apply to Christians or Jews.
In fact, examining latin roots makes me think that term only

Infidel: Translates from Arabic to the meaning non believer.. ie. one
who does not accept Islam or Muhammed or has as a Muslim, has rejected Islam
Arabic meaning of the word is what counts. As an infidel, you are sub human
and thus worthy of death to cleanse the earth for the master religion.

Glad it's over for now! 32.9 F at our house this a.m., but no frost.
White Whale was blowing hot air after about two blocks of driving, but I
wore a pair of army flight gloves for most of my commute because the
steering wheel was quite cold.
I just received an email form Zoro about the jumper cables they have.

Another passing of an era. The fact they retired two years ago (and went to
edited rebroadcasts) does explain why current shows seemed somehow familiar.
I did learn a things from that show but it was mainly good entertainment.
However, I did not appreciate their attitude on Diesels: What do you
I do love the smell of diesel exhaust in the morning! But I also love the
sound of a running diesel engine.

While their advice was often questionable, especially when it came to Mercedes,
they were always a hoot to listen to.
I drove by Ray’s shop in Cambridge several times while visiting Boston. Never
stopped, as I figured they would discourage touristas since it was a working

The s500 is rated 1mpg less city than the 420, same highway at 20. Never saw
the need for a 420 when you can have a lot more car in a 500 and get basically

advised using a hose into the cabin hooked into a drinking straw suck on
