Gene—— what do mean by “A Few years ago “ .?I’d say that’s the understatement of the year—— a few light years ago maybe !!! In the far off days when we were all so “young and beautiful “! Full of life and ambitions.

If you’ d. have told me you wrote a book I would have bought it—— as it is I’ll do a deal with you—— you find a copy —- sign it and send it to me—— and I’ll do the same thing for you with my book.
Now you could be batting on a sticky wicket here Gene —- mine’s a long way short of being published simply because it’s not even half written!
Lets see if we can get Fuji—— Peters90—- or BobV to enhance the book —- blow it up and get you a few hundred sold. The things I do for love.
You better send me your address in Colorado ( for future reference) by PM

Sorry to have to tell you Gene, the attachments of “Beautiful and Famous Wife” are “Not Valid” .
You never sent me your address.
Does Doug want a “Concept” wing, or the real thing?
How far on with the MALIBUSTANG are you?
Still in total lockdown here, even though it’s VE 75th Anniversary Day.
Boris doesn’t want the blame for a second wave of Covid 19, so he does nothing.
Unfortunately, Brits Are tired of isolation and will say “enough” and do what they have to, without being stupid.

If only Marlboro had used Pruett instead of the ponce cowboy, the would have sold much more product. Trouble was, he only ever smoked CAMEL .

No polntsfor guessing where that picture was taken—— one point for guessing the year!
