Glad everyone had a great time! I know I sure did!
My only 'incident' occurred on the way back to
Dallas...
I was cold and wet from the show. I had a warm, dry
change of clothes...but couldn't find a good place to
change.
Sure, I'm in a bus, but the back is completely full o'
parts. Was nervious about changing in a parkin' lot,
so I drove to the 1st rest area on I35...started
takin' off my wet, cold shoes & socks, but a car
parked right in front of me and the folks walked past
me to the rest rooms. Hummm, someone might see me and
report the naked guy...so I put towels over the
windows, put pillows on the dash to cover the
windshileld...get all my cold wet clothes off and a
damned cop parks RIGHT behind me. Believe me, its
HARD to dress quickly in the drivers seat, but I did
it!
The officer stayed behind me for 20 damned minutes!
I left, he stayed, so it was all good!

"The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If
you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've
never seen anybody really find the answer-- they think they have, so they stop
thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in
which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater
than the need for an answer."
