~FR~ as requested: The Simon, wet roads and windshield wiper story. As most of you know, I used to drive big trucks for a living, and spent much of that doing entertainment transport (concerts, theatrical, etc). Well, right around Christmas one year, I'd loaded a show in to Orlando, and had several days off. A friend of mine (who drove tour buses) was home for the holiday, up by Jacksonville, and kindly invited me to spend a couple of days with him and his family. I left my trailer in Orlando and headed north. It was raining pretty hard as I headed up I-95. Simon, as was his wont, was entertaining himself by chasing the passenger side wiper back and forth across the window. Some brainless twit in a tiny car decided to cut in front of me, and for no apparent reason, hit his brakes. Of course, I had to hit mine. The result of this was Simon being plastered up against the window, rather like one of those Garfield dolls that used to be suction cupped to car windows all over the place.. I had to pull over, I was laughing so hard. It took about a week for him to forgive me for laughing. *he wasnt injured - physically - but the dignity sure took a hit!
