36 WHEELS AND COUNTING

Normally, the van's air conditioner blows ice-cold air. Sweating and drinking plenty of water, obviously, the 2006 Chrysler Town & Country van wasn't blowing and providing the comfortable air that we are accustomed to. It's not necessary to have air conditioning to travel from one point to another. That's true! Air conditioning is a luxury. In this Texas heat, it becomes a necessity.

Lemon Drop
So, there is the story of the Tweety Bird-yellow Cannondale CAAD4 that came into, out of and back into my life in serendipitous ways. I raced on that bike as a CAT IV and then III on the Green Mountain Bicycle Cycling team from 1997 - 2002. I named that bike Lemon Drop. Yellow, yes, but I thought I could reverse jinx myself and my racing career if I had “drop” in its name, a measure of karmic control so I wouldn’t “get dropped” from the peloton in any race, and the bike would perform perfectly, never showing signs that it was a “lemon.” That didn’t work though. Karmic control is an oxymoron afterall.

The Ghost Shift: 440 Horses and a Haunted Highway
The 1970 Dodge Challenger didn’t belong in this decade. It was a block of matte-black iron in a world of plastic electric bubbles. I sat in the driver’s seat, the idle of the 440 Magnum engine vibrating through my spine—a mechanical heartbeat that felt more real than anything else in Las Vegas.
