Dear George Zay
"Otherwise, the word bolide has no real meaning to
me" was the phrase you used to close your posting.
Maybe you should look at the Webster's New World
Dictionary and its definition of "bolide" (... a brillant
shooting meteor, especial one that explodes). By
association, in many no english speaking countries,
bolides means also something (a car, even a person )
moving very fast. I hope the first part of this posting can
help you out to find a new meaning to the word... :-)
Cordially
