55 WAS the alotted and acceptable speed along that open roadway. I WAS actually sober and driving carefully at 55 mph, as 3:00 AM is literally breakfast time for me. If I had slowed down it would not have made any difference. For all that I know, I did the cat and myself a favor by deciding to never look back upon this ever again. I don't ever want to hear about this ever again. No questions, please. I think that my favorite Billy Joel song was "Billy the Kid". At least a little more entertaining than "Copacabana", a Barry Mannilow song we had to listen to every other fifteen minutes back then on the ONLY local pop/"rock" station back then. That wasn't rock, I contend to this one very hell of a sorry and grief stricken wonderful day. There was one Billy Joel song that will never make sense to me. Something about listening to Doors tapes and smoking hash pipes. Maybe I dropped that in there just for spite, but were four tracks even available DURING the vietnam war? Sincerely-
