OK... knew all you guys would get a kick out of this one... several of you
have suggested throwing the solar bag on the luggage rack when leaving for
camping and taking a nice warm shower upon arrival at the campsite...
sounded like a good idea to me, so I did just that and went out to run some
errands before hitting the road.  Figured, in my infinite wisdom that the
bag would be going nowhere since it was full of heavy water... WRONG!  Had
to brake fairly quickly for a truck that was pulling out of a driveway when
the shower bag when flying in front of me and landed in the street.  DOH!

I retrieved the bag... vowed to bungee it down (of course) before leaving
and proceeded to cautiously drive home.  Naturally another woman stopped
quickly in front of me... I was able to stop without losing the bag (why
didn't I just put it inside anyway?), but she then backed up, yelled at me
about why didn't I stop... didn't I see her backup lights... and then made
some reference to the lower rear part of my anatomy and my association with
it.

Hmmm...  oh, well, the beach awaits... good thing it's Friday.
