I like to drive down the highway with my hair blowing out the window,
actually!

Never did that in my misspent youth.  I misspent my youth being serious and
going to school.  What was I thinking?

I also don't drive with my rear curtains closed, even though it's pretty
hard to see anything out that window.  The idea of seeing nothing at all is
scary.

I put my stickers on the back of the passenger side window.  But my I Know
Bev sticker isn't up yet - it's paper, no need to subject it to the weather
till I'm out driving again, 'cause it's not going to last.  Which is a scary
thought, actually.  If the I Know Bev sticker wears off, do we still know
Bev?  Is she still out there somewhere?
