: My Dear MMMMarcia,
: Chris, of the Call of the Wild Alaska, of the Nanook, where the Elk and the Polar Bear play fame, once told me I was a fraud as GGGG because I had no grey hair. Are you trying to rememdy that situation for me?????? I hear those who ride with you have the wild ride of their lives, and upon exiting the vehicle they have snow white hair!!!
: True? Or no?
: Hugs,

Well, Dearest Billygnome, it's like this: them as leave my car with gray hair probably ENTERED it with gray hair. Though, to be REALLY, REALLY honest, I was NOT at my driving peak last year, what with having a) a FLORIDA truck which would not go over 45MPH on a mountain road, and b) having a terrible infection of the eyes, which did not allow for the clearest of vision, especially at night. I will grudgingly confess to having scared my passengers (not to mention MYOWNSELF) once or twice at that particular Gathering. But that's all better now. I can SEE again. Mostly.
And SOME of those wild rides were hilariously fun...just try outrunning the Golf Cart Police in a FLORIDA truck! There we were, straining & striving to urge that little truck up the steep hill to the Creekside cabins late at night, when...BUSTED!! Here comes the Campground Constable in his wee little cart.
CONSTABLE: Lissen up, Missy! We have rules around here. There's a STRICT 10MPH speed limit in this campground...and by golly, if you CAN'T get up to THAT, then you can just get OUT!
Oh, what fun! Those were the days! *wiping away a sentimental tear* Another treasured Gathering Memory for my scrapbook.
Yes, Bill, you'd BEST ride with us...for the time of your life!
MMMMarcia
PS...You NEED some gray hair, anyway!!
