: 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!!

HM: Marcia, theres a No Entry sign......Marcia, thats a one way street.....Marcia.....One Way Street......ONE WAY STREET.....OH MY GOD....THERES ANOTHER CAR COMING AT US.....OMG - ONE WAY STREET!!!!
MMMM: Okay, I will just pull over here and turn around....
HM: *pant* *gasp* Marcia, are you sure you don't want me to drive back to the cabins?
Heeeheeeeheeee - and all that from those damned occasional seats in the back of that DDL Truck of yours.....
Aaaaah, the memories...
