Dick,
You have my heartfelt respect, albeit what appears to have been a very
close call.
And I might suggest that there may be a number of uninjured people who
might owe their good health to your decision. Loss of ones freedom
can be devastating. For me, the loss of my eyesight knocked me for a
loop, initially. But the day came that I looked past the "loss" and
decided that instead of a loss, it was an open door to new
opportunities.
Recently I spoke with a cousin who just turned 83. He spent about
half an hour catching me up on all his infirmities, groaning about how
tough life had become. He became so wrapped up that he did not allow
me a single moment to grumble about my own troubles. After I'd hung
up I reflected on the difference in our outlook on life. My cousin is
in a holding pattern, waiting to die. At 82, I am eager for each new
day, and what excitement and pleasures it will bring. And what new
opportunities. Within this great nation, I am controlled by the whims
of the Ruling Class, but within myself, I am a free Spirit.

I certainly continued to drive after it was unsafe. My last driving
experience was taking three hours to drive a course that should have
taken about 45 minutes. A lot of that was because I had to keep pulling
over to collect my nerves. That night I drove back home at about three
in the morning and it took a lot less time because there was no bright
sunlight and because there was less traffic. In great emotional agony I
told myself that I just could not continue driving and I never drove again.

Richard,
It's certainly good to know that you are still alive and kicking. It
would be a major shock if you had said that my and other list members
had converted you into a wild eyed Radical. And good for you, knowing
when to slide from behind the steering wheel before you ran into
trouble. So many of our clients continue to drive long after their
vision has made them unsafe. It's about the hardest change in their
lives, like clipping their freedom wings.
Stay in touch and stay well.

Carl / Miriam:
Lost confidence in ability to drive an automobile and Albuquerque closet
family. Thus far move has been successful. Have read you and Miriam
steadily - No indicated conversion yet.
Have discovered that New Mexico, like Illinois, is in advanced state of
financial failure due to Progressive Democratic Policy. Some are
leaving.
