Our destination was the driving range Homer frequented in Seattle, Washington. And I know the windshield wipers worked, because they 'wump-wumped' all over the tape I recorded on our way back!
What a time.
What a man.
What a privilege.

I can't imagine what it must have been like . . . you are certainly one of the few and teh privileged. Y'all are few and far between.
Interesting that those windshield wipers were . . . Hinge Action of an Angular Motion on an Inclined Plane too huh? There ain't no golf laws . . . just universal laws.

Too good!
How great would it be to meet Homer Kelley?
If I had a time machine my first travel was always to hang and see the Beatles play 10 hrs a night in Hamburg. But now it would be to see Homer and bug that guy with the tape recorder in the Oldsmoble.  |

You're officially a huge dork . . . of course I'd be in the back seat . . . and Mike O'd be in the trunk with his Scooby Doo Lunch Box humming the SWAT theme song.

Been a dork for a while.
Imagine the dorkdom if I wasn't married. (Yikes)
I'll drive.  |
