I finished the driving course. It was helpful in one change
and that is that I will back out of the driveway differently to avoid the fast
drivers that come up J Street. The rest of the alternatives I already do in deference
to my age. I had a talk with two union workers on my walk. They are diligent in
their quest for better salaries. I respect their efforts. I watched the rain
pour down and the leaves float by.

I had three babies in less than two years so I had three toddlers,
three elementary students, and three teen-agers. One of the pleasant memories
of their teen-age years is teaching them to drive. One boy at a time in the car
for a long drive on various roads in the county made for intimate
conversations. I remember feeling closer to each of them at that time. Both
boys wanted to drive too fast and take corners too quickly. I did get them to
think before they made a move. I learned a lot about their attitudes and
interests. Both of the boys went on to impulsive acts and at one time we joked
that I should have a seat in traffic court with my name on it. They graduated to
motorcycles and I told them I didn’t want to hear stories. Hollie was easier in
all ways and driving lessons with her were fun. We had good conversations and I
learned a lot about her too. Little cameo photos of a long ago time.
