Got a mention on the front page of the local newspaper and a
really good article on the first page of the second section
about our Second Annual Polar Bear Run.  The article appears
on the opening page of the paper's website too!  The first
Red Miata  in the photo with the red flower on the antenna
is my Belle. ;-)

See www.mcall.com or our website at www.lvmoc.net for
details.

What surprises me is that this Santangelo is still alive.
I guess it is hard to strangle someone if your fingers are
frozen.

I love the quote at the top of your club's site - it is a
perfect observation as the holidays end..... "Families are
like fudge... mostly sweet, but with a few nuts."

Actually, Mark is usually a pretty nice guy.  Except when he's making us
drive around topless in January. <g>  Last year's event was in 56F degree
weather so it was a LOT easier to take.

He may be like the building manager at work.  One sunny August,
he thought up the idea of testing the heating system for three
days.  It worked great the full three days.  No problems
whatsoever.

One always wonders what ideas these people will come up with next.

Well, in reading through the owner's manual of my 2005 it says to run
the a/c every month (for x period of time) to keep the seals lubricated.
I don't think I ever did that in my 90 (maybe why the a/c stopped
working late in life)... I just can't seem to find the nerve to run the
a/c  for a while in the winter. Granted now that I'm in las vegas and
it's 65+ degrees it's more bearable than when I was in WI, NE, & MD in
winters...

Isn't it just as good to run it as an heater?  I don't know the details,
but I would assume they just run the cycle backwards, instead of it
being a separate unit.

Why not? The heater has hot coolant flowing through it all the time, and
the "temperature" control just mixes hot and cold air to suit. With the
A/C on, simply twist the temp knob a little higher.

While I rarely use the A/C on my '94 to stay cool, I've run it for 5
minutes every couple of weeks year round since I bought the car in 1997,
and it's never needed service. Same with my 1985 Accord, bought new.
