      a drawing of a woman driving a convertible with her hair in the airBetween the rains, with Southern California looking its legendary beautiful self, a high-end convertible overtook me on the freeway and I caught a glimpse of the bald driver and a passenger with a mop of auburn hair waving in the wind.

      By Reg Green

      “Lucky devil,” I thought.

      As it happened, he turned off the freeway at the next exit, as I did, and was stopped by a red light.

      Envious to see what delights money can bring, I drove alongside and glanced over. The driver wasn’t bald: he was wearing a skull cap.
      And the passenger was a golden retriever.
