the Legend of LAX - 17 Mar 2008 17:14 GMT

Went to the local quarterly kit collectors show yesterday. The wife
ended up picking out three kits (for me to build) & I only got one. It's
been like this for quite a few shows now. I think she likes the show
better than me. I'll never get rid of my stack. Life's tough.

4 new kits and your wife helped carry them for ya. I agree - life isn't
fair. MY LIFE isn't fair!!!

Way back when I dated a gal for a few years where dinner and shopping was a
pretty stable routine of ours. I was big into NASCAR and it wasn't uncommon
for her to spot kits and toss 'em in the cart before I laid eyes on them. If
she were out and about and spotted a sale she'd bring a few home.

In the end we traded each other in. I was young and figured all women would
pretty much have the same or an approximate attitude.

Ouch! That was reality biting.

In fact, one of the ones she got was a NASCAR. She has so many of them
she lost track. It turned out she already had it. She also got a Statue
of Liberty (because they almost gave it away), & a Trumpeter LaFrance
fire truck, complete w/photo etch. I'm really looking forward to
building that one. I got the Revell Apollo Astronaut on the Moon. All
four for the princely sum of $105.

You can't have everything. Where would you put it?
