                Here's how one of the most interesting and intense
                relationships I've ever had started.

                While living in Arcata, Ca several years ago, I drove to
                Bend, Oregon for a weekend of skiing. While there, my car
.               broke down. I had to be back in Arcata the following day,
                so I left the car at a garage in Bend, and started hitch-
                hiking. After a few rides, I found myself in the middle of
                no-where, standing along side of a deserted highway at
                some time on the order of midnight, in a snowstorm, wondering
                if my body would be found before Spring. Along comes the
                car driven by the woman who would be my lover for the next
                three years. Of course she did not announce herself as such
                immediately. We had a long, humorous conversation during
                which she drove me some 50 miles out of her way, and agreed
                to put me up for the night when I came back through the
                following weekend to get my car.

                As planned, I stopped in the following weekend, spent an
                uneventful night on the floor, and left early the next morning,
                leaving her an invitation to visit me in Idaho in a few weeks.
                Much to my surprise (and delight) she showed up on schedule
                and things took off from there.
