Before we left Cottonwood we had to say goodbye to May. May is my oldest girlfriend, she is 83. May is sharp, and knows how to handle things. She lives in a nice neighborhood, but as circumstance would have it some drug dealers moved in next to her. Of course May became friends with them and whenever she needed a task done, she did not hesitate to have them over to perform work for her. They have since had to move on. Lord Kadizzle asked May if she had a car. "Heaven's no " she replied " We got too many old people on the road now". May is one of the few old people with any sense in this regard. "Besides" she said "When I did drive I was too wild". May went on to relate that she drove pretty much the way she wanted, but if someone pissed her off, she "Pulled the hood". "What are you talking about?", I asked. May then explained if anyone behind her was rude, she would just pull the hood latch in traffic and get out and raise the hood, so the rude person behind her would be trapped. She would pretend to have car trouble just to increase their frustration. Knowing May, I could see her doing this, so I had to agree it was a good thing when she gave up her car.
