Speaking of taking your toys with you, I stopped at a crappy, run down little used car lot the other day because I had driven past a mid eighties SC targa (nice paint/body but ratty top...so maybe bad interior) and a couple of clean looking, but primered early/mid '70s BMW 2002s for about a week there. As I parked and got out...about 40 ft from the cars...an old guy ran up to me waving his arms and started yelling at me not to look in the Targa. He had a thick accent...so It was hard to understand, but my general premise is that cars parked on a used lot are for sale (none were anything special). He was somehow concerned that people looking in other peoples cars...was not polite. It seems that the BMWs were his, but the Targa was a customer's car. He asked me where I was from as if it must be another planet or maybe he does not sell to anyone from elsewhere (I guess I didn't look local...so I told him I live in VA). He told me the BMWs were his, but they were very expensive and I could not afford them. It seems that of all the cars on his lot, only one was actually for sale. Hard to make much money that way (no, it was not the guy in Wyoming...but strangely, that was the street name).

People can just keep their toys as far as I am concerned.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
