The van in the driveway... Maybe the cop was really interested in the VW.  I
was up on the hill at a local park running my ham radio late one Saturday
night not too long ago, and the Park Police came up and shined a light in
the window.  I opened the door and offered him a cup of green tea.  He asked
me all about the van, and asked if he could look inside.  I said, "sure" and
showed him how the top popped up and the upper bunk unfolded.  He said he'd
never seen anything like that before.  It was a friendly encounter.

Now, I imagine if I had been stopped on the highway, it would have been a
whole different matter.
