Hey Ruth!

-> 
I don't think I cared for it but I don't think
I ever drank enough of it to really have
an opinion.

The main disadvantage of the really small teardrops
is that there's no place to "be" if you're no laying in
the bed, if the weather's wet or windy you either have to
lay in the bed in the teardrop or sit in the car. At least 
in the Tab, you have a place to sit out the weather and 
can read or write  while you do.

We used to make little ovens out of #10 tin cans as well.
Gosh I haven't thought of those days in ages! 
chat with you soon
