Index Number: 16555 [This is from the Blink Talk Conference] Seriously, most folk would consider this a lark. Not a lark, a true story. A friend had a 1975 Plymouth Valiant that was falling apart mostly due in most part to the salt used on the roads in our Canadian winters. Joy, my dog guide, hates salt. Back to the story. So this car is worth $20 and Grant figures it should die a respectable death considering it carried his personality, rust that is, for four years of college. All flammable materials are removed from the vehicle, except for the seat, all glass, and off we go. There's a race track 15 miles east of Canada's capital called Ottawa Valley Speedyway. "Thunder in the Pines". The end night attraction, demolishion derby. Blind people can drive. It's true! We can. The official said that there could be no deliberate smashing before the flag was dropped. Ooops, I was disqualified. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I started before the green flag was waved. I lasted 30 seconds, destroyed one contestants radiator, then drove into a cement wall. Grant has it mortalized on video just to prove that blind people can drive. Mr. moderator. I apologize for tying up the echo but humour should fall within the mandate of this echo I trust. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!163!207.666!Jeff.Dubois Internet: Jeff.Dubois@p666.f207.n163.z1.fidonet.org
