This book is also dedicated with deepest sincerity to:
David Howard and Paul Brazell, life-long friends and brothers-in-arms in the promotion of unimaginable chaos in our search for days of adventure that we prayed would never end.

The tolerant and even saintly men and women of the Menlo Park Police Department, especially Detective Joe Ochella. I?ve learned my lesson now: fight for truth, honor, and lower speed limits with fewer automotive shenanigans.
And finally, to Ronald, Stan, Russell, and Kevin: g
