| Jazz for aficionados Keegiam, I remember your 98 Olds very well, it was a land yacht of distinction that floated over the highway. Did it have a button on the floor that you could press to move the radio dial without taking your hands off the steering wheel?They had ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Three_easy_payments, there have been many who have come and gone, but left something significant in this thread while passing through; that would not be a waste of time. | |
| Jazz for aficionados In high school, I took physics, chemistry and Algebra III. In algebra III you had to solve several different complex problems before you could even begin to answer the question. That meant you had to set up the equation at each step of the game.... | |
