get well,

it worries me so much the speed and wreaklessness people drive at..
i still have lap belts in my bug and these newage drivers don't drive
right and run up or over you if you are'nt " going " a faster speed
then them.

revolt drive with pride and swiftness. great to hear that you rode this
out and both are safe and sound.

peace
Joe
