May I shiver--ehr, I mean, second--Randall's suggestion.B  I drove through
several "wicked cold" New Hampshire fall mornings without the bulkhead plates
Randall refers too.B  I not only felt the cold, but wound up with sand all
over my suit pants.B  Last winter when the List (Randall) suggested what was
wrong, I installed them, and voila, no more sand.B  Still plenty of cold, but
not from the draft.B 



Actually, John, I think it was you who gave the great description of the
aftermarket heater install, which is in the plans for early spring.B  Thanks
for that!
