When I was learning to drive, I was in love with early-1970s model
Corvettes. My mother warned me to keep my eyes on the road and was afraid
I would get whiplash. Little did she know what a menace I am now looking
at buildings! Thank goodness she rarely rides with me. I can't tell you
how many times people have stopped to make sure I am ok, when I've pulled
off the road to look at an old country house... My boss wants me to get a
"makes frequent stops" sign to hang off the back end of my car (no, not a
Vette, although my first car was a 1985 Firebird -- one step down from a
Vette according to the dealer, how could I say no?)
