Jose:

I understand from our mutual Machiavellian friend in New Britski that you are quoted as describing 2077 as "Too dark; black wheels, just like an attorney's heart. He needs to paint those wheels orange." Well, I will admit that I sought to differentiate 2077 from your 2075 Puerto Rican bling mobile painted powder bird-blue and orange. Why, just add air-ride and you can make it dance... Thank goodness the good folks at ERA refused your request for a velvet interior and dash DVD.

Cheeks:

Glad to know you're still among the living! ...and thanks, it's nice to have a perspective other than that of our Puerto Rican friend. I'm sure that I will maintain my record of running out of gas in every ERA that I have owned... how else to determine the accuracy of the "Putnam senders." ...and my recollection of finding you at dawn asleep in the GT MKII was the group's consensus that you had been doing a lot more in the GT than merely sleeping. ...indulging in some sort of primitive rite of self flagellation, perhaps.
