·I once witnessed a collision between a Mercury sedan, and a Chrysler sedan. The Chrysler had three young men in it. The impact happened when the Mercury broadsided the Chrysler on the passenger side of the car. The Mercury ignored a YIeld sign! The Chrysler did did a 180, and in the process, the driver’s door flew open, and the driver flew out, and smacked his head on the curb. He was conscious at the scene. The ambulance took him away. I heard that later, he lost consciousness, and he had to endure a 7 hour brain operation. I gave my statement to the police, as the only lmpartial witness.
Months later, on a Friday afternoon, I was served with a subpoena, and told to appear in court, Monday of the following week. I told the process server that it would not be possible for me to appear because we were getting married the following day. I made the mistake of telling him where we were honeymooning. He told me to appear, or there would be a warrant for my arrest!
I appeared. They told me to take a seat outside the court room, which I did. Thirty five minutes later, everybody files out of court. Trial OVER! To this day, 55+ years later, I still wonder what the hell happened! It appears there must have been NO CONTEST, and my testimony wasn’t needed. Dunno!

··Home For Wayward WatchesThat was when both Mercury and Chrysler were made of copious quantities of steel and had ponderous weight. Must have been like the collision of two freight trains.

·It can be daunting if you’re neither familiar with nor comfortable in your surroundings.
I spent, and still spend, a lot of time watching Raymond Burr as Perry Mason - part hero, part inspiration - and he always won. It’s his little smile in the opening credits, where he spots something in the papers, that always gets me - we all tried to find it 😀

Ah, yes I see them: Mushroom Pushers! Do I see a CB facet or am I hallucinating?
Thanks @Lou P , it means a lot. I'm thrilled [almost] beyond words 😀
It's funny how one's perspective changes over time. Here's how I saw things five years ago:

If it don't shine, ain't gonna wear it. Appalled by $10,000 vintage Speedmasters that look like they were dropped in a parking lot, then run over by a few dozen motorists."
Oh, if it were only $10,000 😵💫
