    In the 1950s I hauled Connecticut shade tobacco to Tampa (once famous Cigar Capital of the World).
    As an aside, a Judge once asked me if I promised to take a certain girl to Florida. I said no Judge, I said I was gonna tampa with her.
    Thanks for the memories.

    Her husband probably thinks she's off having an affair! Wouldn't want to get caught in a lie like that!

    I'd like to see the lathe that cut that thread. Is that a solid piece of metal or is it screwed together?
