Love a happy ending

True words Dan! Striper fishing one night, loaded my gear in the truck and about 1 mile down the road; "What was that noise?" Rearview mirror - rod and reel bouncing off Rt. 1 and into the ditch. Rod was toast, my son still uses the reel. Hasn't happened since as the rod/reel now goes IN the vehicle or leaning on the driver side mirror. ANYHING ON THE ROOF IS DOOMED (cup of coffee running down the windshield?) - add a pretty young woman and forget about it! Dan - this is fantastic - I know the feeling - "I drove off like John Cleese in that scene in a Fish Called Wanda."! Thanks for painting that picture!

Everyone, it seems, leaves stuff on the roof of the car once! I was fishing the Battenkill one time and got back to the car at sunset just as a fisheries truck pulled up. Out popped a pretty young woman who asked me if I wanted to do a angler’s survey. We talked as the sun set on the river until dark, long after we had finished the actual survey. I drove off like John Cleese in that scene in a Fish Called Wanda. When I happened to discover what I had done the rod and reel were long gone but luckily my vest had gotten tangled in the roof rack!
