To paraphrase CCR:

Hope you’re quite prepared to die…"

Daniel my lad.

The following is from your story.

Is it correct as written?

 The elimination of the art from the deed

Or should it read this way?

 The elimination of the art from the dead

Good read, you sure have a knack for words.

Quite correct as penned.  Almost eerily so.   cooldude

Very good read Daniel.  Pretty much sums it up.

On the last paragraph, I would have to age modify the statement, "Until I stop for gas" to say "Until I have to Pee"  Grin

The Vstrom gets good gas mileage and it has a big tank. 

Again, excellent read, thanks.
