Dear Tom and Ray:

Since I entered graduate school in California, my two dogs have been homesick for the mountains of Nevada near Lake Tahoe. I told my dad I would give him my 1984, 140,000 miles Subaru if he would also take the two dogs. Do you think I made a good deal, or did my dad AGAIN come out ahead? Carolyn

Tom: Well, if your dad likes dogs he came out ahead, Carolyn.

Ray: Because in this deal, he got three of them.
