not only that, but i am back.

so, i get there, two hours after posted opening hours. there is a sales guy, outside. the owner is gone, hiking (which sounds about right, from what my friend says about his brother) and no keys. the "other guy" isn't there yet and is not answering his phone. so, i got to listen to the sales guy talk about the car. what i really wanted to do was talk to the car. anyway, i'll let you come to your own conclusions. i won't have time to get back there until tuesday. i work all weekend and monday.

sorry, rick, but i took our second phone. i think my wife has the phone you were calling.

D, there are areas in Utah (as I remember) that do have designated deer crossing areas. They have huge fences that funnel the critters into a gate size opening and a hole in the fence on the other side. There a lot of signs warning the humans that the area is ahead.

It might have been Colorado but I think it was Utah.

apparently i wasn't clear. the sales guy didn't have keys to the entire shop! and the owner was hiking, etc. the closest i got to the car was 20 feet, behind a garage door, looking through a window pane.

Seriously Azzy, if you find a car and need some help or buy a car and it develops issues let me know. Worst case we get a trailer and bring it here and make it all better.

yeah. we have those. they are useless. it was a pet project of someone, i can't remember who, that got pushed through by the state bureaucracy as a legal kickback. total BS.

I saw a deer cross the road yesterday just 50 yards ahead of me. They are thick this year.

Numbers. They seemed to do quite well with the drought and heat of the summer.

I don't even know what thick as in ghetto would be.
