See link below to IMDB page. Interestingly, this was written (novel and adaptation) by Donald E. Westlake, the vastly under-recognized king of the comic crime caper novel. I recommend his Dancing Aztecs.

Dancing Aztecs seems to be out of print.
Available 2nd hand though: https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/S...-Results&ds=20
And many more by the same author: https://www.abebooks.co.uk/book-sear..._-srp-_-author

I just watched "The Sand Pebbles" with Steve McQueen. I got interested in what was fact or fiction. So, surfing around for info, I saw this pic of McQueen:

That sounds a lot like Sacramento. I see a lot of weird machinery on the MUPs, that carry kids and/or pets. I was surprised when I realized what some of those things cost! But it's a wise investment, overall, if you can pedal that kind of weight around. 🙂

I remember when Mork & Mindy first came out (September of '78) when I was in 12th grade. He sure ended up having a pretty good career, huh? RIP, Mork. ✌️


Edited the year, lol, bad long-term memory. 😉

In this weekend's Wall Street Journal, Reggie Miller is a Cat 1 racer. When asked about socks, he prefers short socks for the C&V look.
