Not sure what to say?

One of my favorite memories is of my Uncle Don taking me for a drive at night down the dirt, washboard-like Dewey Rd., Budweiser in one hand and holding the steering wheel with the other, bound and determined to avoid all alligators and crocodiles on that road, while I laughed uncontrollably, half scared to death.
