California Edition Saga



damn - now I feel bad that I wasn't able to go down and check it out myself and 
save you the detour. Sorry it was a wild goose chase.

Amazing, and sorta not surprising, that I may have contacted her about the car 
so long ago.

Enjoy your wedding. I'm sure you'll have a few barley-pops!  :)
