Another Nice Day

[sukchew at suddenlink.net (Chuck Blue)]

I think you better get busy.Cincy is coming and I don't like to travel 
alone.
  I went to the VW show in Nacogdoches on Sat.There were about 65 cars there 
and only a few water cooled.The Best water cooled was a new beetle 
(Yuck).Ther were several cars from LA. and deep northeast Tx.We but the Cal 
bug in the show for advertising we are hoping to sell it.
 Rose ran great and we had a very plasant trip to and from. Would like to 
see more Rocs though.
