But it's not good news I have, as yesterdy my 82 Westfalia I have driven as my daily since 1995 with over 351,000 miles , was plowed into yesterday by a drinking driver.

I'm still pretty shocked by it, the impact spun my Westfalia around No one was hurt, the other driver or me.

I smelled whiskey coming from her car, but the officer did'nt search her car. I asked him to.

He said she wasn't drunk.He said he was an expert and got upset when I asked if he gave her a breath test. He did'nt even ask me how it happened. he ws gone in ten minutes.

Every one else , aid, fire, witnesses, spectators, all gone and then I waited for the next 30 minutes, alone, next to the 2 wrecks, while all the traffice slowed down to gawk.

And all the while I could smell the whiskey.

Looks like I am probably up for another frame-up job.

Just what I need right now.

Watch out - thee still are whiskey drinkers on the road out there.

Robert 1982 Westfalia
