As I was driving my 89 syncro across Kansas last week, a cop pulled me over, because I was "drifting" and he was worried that I was bored and falling asleep. He had a nice long look through all the windows of the van on his way up, though. And I wasn't drifting, though I did take a couple of gusts of wind. Just a bored cop with nothing better to do than fantasize I was the unibomber or something. No worries, though, he was courteous, just not a good liar. bmc :) "Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel...."
