First and foremost, driving hats off to Scott and Doc and everyone else 
involved in the planning and hard work that made  98 Deals Gap FANTASTIC.  To 
quote Scott, it was "...just way too cool!!!"  Pat and I enjoyed the entire 
fun filled weekend!  All the hair on my body is still standing!

The first trip down the Dragon turned out to be the location where my Miata 
finally told me its name!  I have always used "MAC" when anyone asked and told 
them it stood for "Middle Age Crazy", but this was more "for" and "from" me, 
not the car.  Somewhere around the 30th turn in second gear, my Miata 
politely told me its name...  BURBLES !!!  Slow in... fast out...  Slow 
in... fast out...  It was during the many slow in maneuvers that Burbles 
spoke to me for the first time!  Oh how I love this car!

141 Miatae, 318 turns (times 4 trips), wonderful countryside, and 200 plus 
of some of the nicest people on this planet - what more could you ask for?!?!
?!?

Nap time,

Butch, Pat & Burbles

My doctor said, "MIATA!"
