We explored exception. He used to roll cuffs into his 501s so I started doing the same thing. He drove around in a pickup and by the time I made it back to the south, I bought a little crap four cylinder job I had to toss pallets in the back so it wouldn’t fishtail. I drove that half assed pickup up to Ohio and then back through Alabama. And in Alabama there was a prison, and I ended up going inside and visiting with a fella that was gonna get the needle, or maybe the chair. I can’t remember. But when I told Ed about it, he shrugged it off so I followed suit. That was too much consequential affectation to suck down without impunity.
