I wouldn't either. What's an H2.

The second Generation of the HumVee. I guess that means he has money. I

don't blame him for not wanting to but the H2.

H2 = "Nomenclature" of the civilian equivalent of the military "HumVee,"
the ultimate SUV. :-) Good for off-road travel as-is, can make a
wonderful military-style mobile rig for ham "service" afficionados. Just
paint it flat olive or desert cammy color and install a huge manual code
key, plus a big "Official Ham Emergency Vehicle" sign on the side
right next to a copy of the mysterious sideways chevron used on all
military vehicles for visual ID.

Bye on the H2, thank you. :-)

Poor lad doesn't know where the Amana Colonies are. Those are in Iowa,
actually a collection of small towns settled by largely German immigrants
in the 1800s. Mostly a tourist enclave, they do have some delicious
midwest eating at many restaurants there...most restaurants having true
"all you can eat" menus with second+ helpings on entrees if you want.
See any AAA Guidebook. If you don't like midwest cooking, just go to
one of several smokehouses there and sample the many sausages.
Good desert wines, too.

Amana ranges are made in the central city (Amana, Iowa). Amana
microwave ovens are assembled in Mexico according to the lables on
our kitchen appliances installed in 2000. Amana bought the "radarange"
trademark and microwave range technology from Raytheon many years
ago.

Okay, now back to poor Mr. Foreign Service snarling and spewing
against those who won't bow and kiss his ring. :-)
