The salesman told him that the most-expensive tires were the worst for his purpose. I've changed a lot of flats since then, and now I've gone back to yelling for help instead of sitting on gravel in the hot sun. I can't remember when my last flat was, though. My computer died a few days ago, and I'm not fully back on line yet. Luckily, Agent is self-contained and could be restored from back-up. Vista stinks, and this is lousy weather for shopping. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at centurylink dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/
