Call me the "SPOILER" . I know the gentleman that suffered the loss of these two cars and I know the "circumstances" that prevented them from being in a safe place during the bad weather. The insurance conspiracy theories that are being discussed all make interesting reading but don't apply to this particular case. The man is hurting as a result of this incident. Yes he lives on the other side of the tracks but this isn't enough to assume he is guilty of any fraudulent activity. I know for a "fact" that this isn't the case.

you live in j-ville. What type MB do you drive?

I live in New York. I said I know the gentleman that suffered the devastating loss of these two vehicles. I didn't say I was his neighbor.

Never said you were his neighbor. Excuse me, sorry for asking.

79Mercy ,
No sorry is necessary. I only wanted to present the facts as I know them to be. If I didn't know the gentleman perhaps I would have suspected something too.

I wasn't even talking about the cars, I was wondering if I have ever seen you around town in your MB.

I was also going to invite you to this: Fall Central FL GTG/Tech Day........September 27, 2008

We usually have one in the fall or winter and then one in the spring.

Thanks for the nice intention....Unfortunately it's a little out of the way for me on such short notice.....It sounds like a great get together !! I hope the weather holds out......

i'd say its a bit out of the way since you live in New York.

I need to replace my deck. That's why I haven't trimmed the huge oak limb that is right over it. With my luck being what it is, I'll probably bite the bullet, replace the deck, and THEN that limb will fall on it.

Yeah, I know. Trim the tree first. . . .
