	Shopping for sleds the last few days has been lousy!
There seems to be two types: the plastic toboggan(sp?)-like
and the classic steel-runner-and-wood. The former type is OK,
but don't really last long. [Certainly not as long as "borrowed"
cafeteria trays :-) ] The latter type seem to be extremely
poorly made. For example, the metal frame parts look like
they were finger painted by a preschooler and the wooden slats
look like any varnish on them got there by accident! This got
me wondering whatever happened to good old Flexible Flyer sleds???
They always seemed to be much better than the other junk brands
when I rode sleds. But, alas, an F.F. sled is not to be found
anymore. So...

	Do they make Flexible Flyers anymore?
