When I was 19-years-old, I'd just attached a Chevy pickup to the sling of my Holmes 500 Ford wrecker, when ... out of nowhere, an old, long-haired, naked hippie, ran screaming through the Jack n the Box parking lot with a raised butcher knife. (Can I say that because I don't want to offend anyone because Old Hippies Matter). He chased me around the tow truck, cut the sling pads, then ran back into the alleyway from whence he came. I remember the beach areas as always full of freaks where every night was an adventure. Because I had the truck safety chained, the pads dropped but the pickup stayed lifted. I called the police when I got back to the yard, but they offered me no solace. Other than the guy screamin' like a banchee, he scared the bijeenkie's out of me. No suspect, no charges.     R.
