wild ride

sunny day, riding to the river in a van with jasin fell. (hippie) i am driving his van, brakes are lousy. get pulled over for speeding, but can't stop. finally he switches places with me and he is able to stop the van. the cops know him and give him a hard time but no ticket. down by the river it is very crowded, we must park and walk a ways carrying gear. it is like a rainbow gathering in portland, crazy wingnut hippies everywhere. jasin takes off somewhere and i am floating on an air mattress with my sleeping bag and gear. i think i am going to float to shore , but obviously my sleeping bag gets wet and heavy and things start sinking. somehow i make it to shore and there is a rainbow kitchen, with people cooking and complaining how hard it is to get anything done with so many lazy people everywhere. i tease them, relaxing on my mattress saying yep, i been all over, lazy people everywhere! i am playing with the children, it is someone's birthday, i decide to take a shower, but i get water all over the floor. trying to clean it up. -(pink cadillac)
