Got to the show about 1:30 on Friday and it was only sprinkling.  Enjoyed
the orange show until about 4:30 when we headed for the flea market and it
started to rain enough to shut it mostly down.  Too wet to pull, so we went
home.  Didn't run into anyone I knew this year, but enjoyed talking to a
number of fellas that I didn't.  Talked to a young fellow, about 16, who had
from ground up restored a WD to a real show piece.  He, like many at the
show, likes Persian #2 better than #1, so he transgressed and used it on the
WD.  I am Carl Gogol and I approve of this practice!  :-).  We must need to
formalize some meeting there next year or none of us will ever connect in
person.
