And Yet Another True Story:

            Many years ago I went on a road trip with Pottsy (a sometimes friend); our destination was Cleveland, OH. Pottsy had a girlfriend in school there with whom he wanted to break up, but didn’t think the mail or the phone was the proper way. We took my car because he didn’t have one, so he paid the expenses. My tires were so thin you see the air insde them, but we went anyway. The highpoint of the trip was hitting Indianapolis at rush hour. At that time there were no interstate highways or bypasses, so we went right through the middle of it. At one intersection a bank had a new electronic sign, which flashed the time and temperature – a very new thing in the early 60s, and we had never seen one. I was so mesmerized by the sign that on the second time it changed I took off across 6 lanes of traffic. There was about a 20 second white-knuckle experience filled with screeching breaks, blaring horns, swerving, yelling, and down home cussing (most of it mine), but we got through safely. The ever unflappable Pottsy simply said, “Time, temperature, and go.”

When we got to Lake Eerie College we found that Pottsy’s soon to be ex-girlfriend was already his ex-girlfriend. She had just sent him a letter calling him a low life weasel rat and a scum sucking worm. She also said she never wanted to see him again and true to her word she wouldn’t, so we turned around and headed home. He drove through Indianapolis.

“Life is much too important to be taken seriously.”
