   I’m too much of a coward to bring on the Welsh place names. I’m retired and too poor to tour there today anyhow. I’m just glad I had my Irish 90’s vacation when I could afford it.

   In case you’re wondering, yes he passed away. We were camping in the woods, and I found him stiff in his tent in the morning. The Sheriff’s folks were so apologetic for doing their job. All I could do was lift my arms to the universally-recognized gesture of “this happens.”

   My best friend was a mechanic, and didn’t think twice about tinkering with my Cavalier. When I got the Accord, he wouldn’t touch it. He said “take it to the dealer.”

   My first driving car was a hand-me-down 1972 Impala from my parents. It was wrecked when some yahoo brought out a gun in a movie theater parking lot and pretended to shoot people. I was astonished, but my insurance agency was apparently satisfied, when the judge called it 50-50. Is this what justice will call on Trump? Then I got another hand-me-down Impala.
