Could you leave your car in the driveway tonight so that I can steal it?
I'm a friend of Kim's, and am currently writing a chapter of an upcoming
book that he's editing. It's sure nice to know that there's cheap
assholes out there that are going to be trying to rip off free copies
instead of paying me for the work I'm doing.

Grin, reminds me of a story.
So I usually leave my keys in my car when it's parked in our driveway.
(We live in the sticks.. .with big dogs) Anyway a few years ago there
was an escaped prisoner. (Bucky Phillips) who was "at large" and
somewhere in the area. I went out to my car one morning and discovered
that my keys weren't in it.
"Honey, where are my car keys?" I ask my wife.
"Oh I took them out in case Bucky came around."
"What?", I said, "the last thing we want is Bucky coming into our house
looking for keys. We should leave the keys in the car and $20 on the
seat so he can get gas."

Yeah, and leave your GPS on.
Doesn't that relate to the rule in NYC? Always carry $20 for a junky
mugger so he can get a hit, not get angry at finding nothing and hurt you.
Doubt if $20 is enough today. wonder if they take credit cards?

During that three-month gig on Long Island, I never once had the urge to
drive into the "city".
I've had to be there (NYC) in the past for business reasons... it always
struck me as over-hyped crap.

What, just because a lot of people want to spend a lot of money to live
there? It must be good, if a lot of people want to spend a lot of money
to live there, after all.

I did that on my first visit. My host took me on an airboat ride, whichPhil Hobbs wrote:

They are too big to take home in his suitcase. I think that every
visitor to Florida should have to meet a live 'gator.![]()

gladly let you have a COPY of my car.
