talk about scaring the crap out of someone...diana and i honeymooned in eureka
springs, of course i was in a hurry to do what most newly weds do for the first
time. we hit the pit trail and it was like nascar, dropping gears, going to the
inside of curves, hitting the gas comming out of curves, i don't think we
slowed below 45-50 except for the two hairpins. and on those the tires squeeled
due to the g-force. diana finally said slow down i don't want to die a married
virgin.
i don't know what was more fun that night, the pig trail or the inevitable :D
just kidding ladies the inevitable was more fun.> Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008
