Mea culpa!

I was leaving a car show in my '71 Westy after a long, hot day.  I stowed the
chairs, cooler, etc. inside, rolled down the windows, opened the jealousies,
and took off.  Cars were honking as I worked my way toward the highway.  I
thought they really liked my bus!  Just before I entered I57, I looked out the
driver's window and saw my shadow.  Oops!  Pulled over, put the top down,
swallowed my pride, and headed home.
