Some of us  "girls" never did like dolls, no matter how hard we tried 
(because it was the thing to do.)  Some of us were more fascinated with 
skeletons of all kinds and dinosaurs and most of all, horses.  Some of us 
always felt boys had more fun because they could go camping and do boy 
things.  ("I'm sorry, Barbara, but you just can't go camping with the Boy 
Scouts.")  Some of us were very happy being "tom-boys" and are now very 
happy living and working on a ranch, raising cattle and riding horses. 
There are a LOT of women who manage the ranch, raise cattle and horses, 
break the horses to ride, and drive trucks.  Go get 'em Laney, and tell the 
Chevy advertising department they are insulting, arrogant, and WRONG, that 
their advertising like that is enough to lose a lot of customers.  And try a 
nice Dodge Ram diesel; Lud loves his!
