Still, I need somebody to explain this "Karma" thing to me in detail, because this has been happening to me for quite a while now: Friends gave me a windsurfer a few weeks ago; I gave one away before we moved to the US. I gave away our Volvo to a family with six kids when we bought our first Mercedes; now friends gave me the Ford after the Mercedes died. Yesterday, I went to the auto parts store to get a set of windshield wipers and the sales person asked me what size I'd need. I said 22" and he replied he had a brand new set without the box and could have it for free. Of course I took it, and this morning the local fire department knocked at the door to collect money. I gave them 20 bucks (this is what I would have paid for the wipers) and now this guy calls and offers me that car for half price.

I AM GOING NUTS!!!

Sounds like you're having 'one of those decades!'

Happy Motoring, Mark

Karma is something like this:

"So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice. "
