Bill and Ted's excellent encounter. I met Bill in the Speedway Diner in Rensselaer county. He and his wife are farmers and he was a racecar driver. Also, they used to own six pet skunks, whose stink glands were removed. Nowadays he spends his time doing volunteer mechanical work for his neighbors (he had been up since 5am the day I met him fixing a tractor at the veterinarian's house), the same veterinarian who removed the glands from the skunks.
