No she's not doing an ad or anything like that this is just my late night musings of certain events while recupertaing from Caesar's "rambling" about Ariovistus. It all started a couple of years back on a rather stormy winter night. (I know this starts off like a bad novel) I was driving home on Navajo Rd. Let me describe what type of road this is: on the left hand side is a high cement wall separating on-coming traffic, on the right is a cliff drop-off. Well, as I was zipping down the road humming along to the Jig of Life (eery now that I think about it) it suddenly dawned on me that I should NOT be looking straight into someone's headlights. A few quick movements made easy by the adrenelin rush and I was able to squeak past the cadillac and it's octagenarian driver without careening over the edge. At the time I thought nothign about Kate being on my cassette player UNTIL....I also avoided the side swipe of a spastic blonde teenager on Interstate 8, while Kate played. Or the times I've passed a CHP going oh about 75mph (if my mother asks I never speed) and not received a speeding ticket --- Kate played on. Now one would think this is mere coincidence since "Kate's always in my car." But the one time I did receive a speeding ticket Kate was nowhere to be heard....or the man and his incredibely "windowless" pick-up (either that or his neck lacked the property of movement) that thought reversing into my front fender was nothing to be concerned about; again Kate was silent. If none of this convinces you that Kate is conducive to highway safety, the next time you find yourself in rush hour traffic pop in a KaTe KasseTTe and you'll find the grip on your shot gun loosen as enjoyment fills the cabin; in fact you may find yourself purposefully missing your exit just so you can sit a little longer and listen to Kate.
