I'm pretty sure I saw that van last night, it was going North and I was
going the other way. Flashed a peace sign and the old guy driving it
reciprocated. Or maybe it just looked like that to me. You get a lot of
crap driving a Vanagon around, some people just don't get it. Thank the
stars above that some of them do, you know who you are.
Merry Christmas everyone,
