It was a big dude on a two wheeler that got me, Akrateffil. He didn't offer me a ride into town, but really, that didn't hurt my feelings.

Mello, he was evidently honored to meet me because he did ask for my autograph.

I can't say exactly what the record for that strip of road is, Roger, but I'd bet that my son set it when he was a teenager.

And Barb ..... I might as well try to make it amusing. Its one of those cases where you laugh to keep from crying!

Thanks for the comforting words, friends.
