The object of my affection was. an, approaching . driver who re- fused, 'to . dim his lights, and 1 nearly went into the ditch' in a combination of . ,, blindness and rage, When I. had cooled ' down 1 tried' to remember 'where I'd .heard. those ' particular ;phrases before, m just that tone. Then I knew—my Dad had used . •them, in identical ',tones and an ident kal: situation, about 30 years Abe; fare. Except that he- HAD .gone in the ' ditch.. . , ' I•,, guess my Mather, and I say it With pride, was the ,worst dri-: ver that ever came over a hill right smack. in the centre of the road He wasn't reckless, Care- less or a showoff He was just an uieredibly bad driver: • ' Of 'course' he was :about. 40 .when he bought his. first car, I believe : it was a 1923 Chev.

It` was about .85' miles, ` and an all -day journey in those ` days.: Myr Dad would be bright and early and would- latch all the heavy ' luggage, to the bumpers, 'roof and running - boards. : As:;soon as breakfast was. over, he'd go out, .walk around the Old Chev,, give. the tires, a , kick, and climb :in:' There he'd Sit ' :and : honk . the horn angrily, while my mother ran around the house like., a demented person, grabbing up babies, lunches, jars :of preserves and all ` manner of. things 'Then, with us.kids piled in . the • back,' on top of the bedding, we• were off, with a great .grinding of gears arid lurching until ..we got • ;on the 'Open road; After ten miles or so, 'my mother would be. almost relaxed, When Dad hadn't hit any loose gravel and had Managed to aavoid. •several cars Corning- from the '.opposite direc- tion. • .

But ' watching Dad: 'trying to getthat car onto the ferry was enough to .mark a child for life. Year after year, when he "saw my . father drive up, the ferry captain would roll his eyes and •run for :help.;He'd enlist the en igiineer, the wheelsmari;. and every innocent by-stander, ' warn them, and 'arm' them with large chocks for throwing 'before 'and behind the; , wheels. Eventually, Dad wduld get the Old 'Chev wedged across: the fer- ry so that nobody else could V get 'On or off,. The skipper would throw up his arils, . shrug„ elo- quently to the rest of . the wait- ing 'cars and cast off. Dad, would sit • triumphantly ; in the .Carp ready; to scare everybody out`, of. another 'year's growth when We got to the other side of the river.. There ' was.. only ,: one: other ab- Stacie that really put us ,through. the wringer, . and that • was. The pig Hill, a fewmiles before we reached the lake. We'd go down. a. •longi;steep: hill and 'right Jack . up another'orie, longer•:and steep- er. Each year . we : prayed we'd Make ` it. Each year,' we all threw body• ,English into ,the .'halting climb. And eaoh• year, Dad, 'would forget to change into low soon enough, and stall.. about 2Q feet from... the top. Ther1, there was '. the :dreaded .ordeal of backing down for another run, and the • , final• ignominy of going and fet chink the farmer with his team, after three futile,: and fearful at-. tempts. Nowadays,` when I see ; a movie. about teenage hot -rod • drfvers, playing "chicken" and' taking ,supposedly awe-inspiring, ;chan ces, I just sneer. One trip to the. cottage in the Old Chev 'with. my Dad, and those punks would never ' have the nerve to .climb ' '. into an automobile again.. The next 'five . mini tes were, sheer terror. We . kids: clutched each other 'in the. back seat ' all eyes and white . as paper. My mother clasped .the baby close to herbreast,dropped her, head'and moved her lips rapidly: My Dad , glared ferocious, at the hazards,. ground" his teeth and pressed through, hitting the holes with a bonne -jarring drop, skidding peri- . lously near the .edge of a minor •. precipice, and' confounding the blasted . idiots whohad created the, detour. Limp . and .sweating, we were always glad of the ,flat' tire that inevitably followed . the ' detour. We'd pile out, hop the .fence and dash about like' animals let out of a . cage. My mother would head thankfully, for the shade. tree. and change the babe's dia- per, while Dad changed . the tire, with appropriate incantations..
