Thank you JD.

Safety, in my opinion, requires an appropriate level of fear, skepticism,
and determination.
Back in the beginning, wheels and tires were a huge problem. These days
the worst ones are 1,000 times better because of DOT standards which I
look at as defining the bottom of the barrel. Back in the '50's, the barrel
had no bottom.

Thanks again, JD.
