Naw, Indi, I wasn't gonna strangle you. If I had met up with you at that miserable point (when I'm sure you were hiding from me), I may have made you ride ahead, get the car, and come back for me!
I'm so glad I was able to turn it around and have fun. I guess my song for the ride was "My Way"!
I learned a good lesson. Sometimes the planned ride isn't the right ride. Glad I found my ride--downhill, with a tailwind. It's a beautiful world.
