I received your photocopy today.  I didn't figure that your door locks were
the old style, for some reason.

To my knowledge those locks are no longer stocked by dealers, lock or
otherwise but I am not 100% positive of that.

The gaskets would be equally, if not more so, hard to find.  But a piece of
innertube may work, just turn the curved piece 'in'.

I went through my stock of MoPar products and I have 1 brand new OEM, left
side, I believe, door cylinder, without gasket.  It is coded and comes with
a factory key and code tag.  I have two used cylinders for the doors but no
trunk locks.  The trunk lock gasket was carried over with the newer line
and those may be possible to find.  I will check with my supplier.

Someone may be sitting on a pile of what you need but who that someone is I
don't know.  Some old time lock shop such as Day's Keyshop or Todd's. 
James knows Todd well and he may have something you need?

"Apollo educated", what a neat idea!  Maybe we should get special guest
educators on the board, and Cliff can make a living charging tuition!

I think cows look happy and contented.

I saw a cow cry at a beef auction, no bull.

If you think humans have it tough consider the cow.....babies taken away at
birth and I could go on and on....and on.

Funny, I overheard a maggot just the other day saying the same thing about
human flesh.  Must be catching.

I even know what that is!  Working on Medicaid claims, you get to see some
of those.  Uck.  Today I had to bill a claim for someone that had to have a
"incision of the vulva" procedure.  I didn't even want to read the hospital
notes on that one, but I had to.  
It's weird.  I've come across quite a number of attempted suicides, and a
couple of people even suceeded.  Mostly it's babies having ear infections,
or women with infections.  There was this one claim where a baby had "baby
shaken syndrome" and will be mostly brain dead because this lady's boyfriend
was trying to shut the baby up by shaking it.  Some pretty sad stuff.
 
I gotta get another job.

I think I would too.  I skip that sort of stuff in the newspaper but the
headlines are enough to sadden me.

  Sorry about that. I hadn't intended it as a positive review of the film.
If you had asked, I might have recommended seeing Terminator 2 again
instead. Actually I did like some of B&T's Bogus Journey. The phoney
newspaper headlines and magazine covers they ran the closing titles over
were good, and a few other bits here and there.
  See You Later,

  I've read about three fourths of it now and like it even more. My favorite
chapter has changed to the one where he explains the entire federal budget
and recommends his own version to replace it.

  A lot of people claim that cats are smarter than dogs.  Here's an
experiment you can try to see which are really smarter:
  Get a cat and a dog, and see which one can be trained to do tricks.  Like
fetch-the-stick, roll-over, play-dead, etc.  But do you even have to try? 
You know how it'll work out.
  Now figure out which ones are smarter.  Here, I'll help.  The cat is
smarter.  "Roll over, Fluffy!" you tell your cat.  She looks at you with her
eyes half-closed and says, "What do I look like?  A dog?  Get real!  And
while you're at it, get my dinner."

Oh yeah?  Our dog can't be trained to any of the things you mentioned.
At least cats can be litter box trained...wait a minute...I take that back. 
Most cats, except OURS are litter box trained.  
And because the cat doesn't want to play your silly games, he/she's LESS
intellegent?!

  NO!  The cat is *more* intelligent than the dog, because it's too smart to
fall for all the stupid stunts that are so easy to foist on dogs.

Well, I enjoyed myself for a while, but the last half of the film was inane
and maudlin.
 
I could see George Carlin sway from side to side as the lobes of his brain
fought over whether his loss of standing was adequately compensated by his
large salary.
