Merry -
I hope you are not crazy because I have the same problem. I picked up a beat
up 1966 Sovereign two months ago - to use as an office/reading
room/sanctuary - and in two weeks I was so seriously infected with the
Airstream virus that I joined WBCCI and VAC and began prowling the lots and
lists for a road-ready Safari and tow vehicle. I sleep in the Sovereign
every night. Even my picky golden retriever loves it. It's got to be the
cocoon environment, the art deco design, the integrity of its origins and
its totally and distinctly American history that has something to do with
it. There's no sound in the world like the sound of an Airstream door
latching. The only industrial design that compares - in my mind - is the
Beechcraft Bonanza. I fly that airplane by day and sleep in the Sovereign at
night. My friends think I've gone seriously retro and treat me as if I'm
ill. Prosac doesn't work, by the way. The only way I can keep the fever
under control is to read this list and follow a/s adventures - like Hunters.
When she gets to Bismarck I'm a dead duck.
