Posted this last night, with a picture attached... didn't post.  Guess the
morons have started blocking pics again.  Link to the picture follows text:

Some folks have been asking about 'ol StudeBob.

I got evidence yesterday that he is alive and well, dishing out humor in his
helpful, thoughtful, creative way.  Got the item pictured in the mail, with
the following note attached:

"OEM-Dragon Tooth Guard.

Instructions:  When looking for shorts (Jim T. would have said "bad
grounds.") or other Bow-Tie deficiencies, upon raising hood, slip this over
Sheba's buck tooth.  Remove before re-closing hood, assuming you fixed the
Bow-Tie deficiency.

Conserves blood and obscenities!"

Now, please observe that Bob went to great effort on this head protection
device.  Note the adornment of chrome tape, accented by gold tape.  He,
"cuss-tom" made the device, just for 'Sheba!  Isn't that thoughtful, and
creative?  No doubt, the device will be quite helpful!  I'm assuming the,
"Bow Tie," comments were intended to be humorous.  <G>

Pat, I think there is another brother in the "hood."  He's been working on a
'54, ya know.  -??  How's it healing, Bobbers?

Thanks, Bob!  (For a useful device, and several chuckles.)

Sure miss you here, but I understand!
