[Leica] Nathan's PAD 7/3/2021: a Sunday drive with my daughter

[Ken Carney]

That's great.  I remember those times well.  My daughter did extremely 
well in high school, so I told her if she graduated with high honors I 
would get her the car she wanted.  That turned out to be a red Chevy 
Iroc Z28 Camero, with the standard V8 but still pretty warm.  The 
important part was red.  I did get a phone call from a trooper saying he 
had pulled her and her girlfriends over and could I have a short talk 
with her about the speed limit.  Just a warning and other than that, no 
tickets.
