Bill Clinton startled by cobra

[Buzz]

Slick Willie is down here - officially on an "R & R" trip and he will be guest speaking at a dinner hosted by the local government. There is a lot of media speculation about who is actually footing the bill and why.
Anyway, I was just at the hardware store picking up some stuff for the car and I ran into a neighbor whose house is right across from the fairway of the island's best golf course. He said that he just saw Clinton and his entourage playing the first hole before he left for the store. On my way back, I had forgotten about it and was heading up the road at a spirited but safe clip in third gear on a nice, mostly empty, semi-private road that winds through our neighborhood. I was enjoying the sound and the rush of power as I thundered out of a sweeping bend when I suddenly saw Clinton and his gang on the golf course not more than 25 or 30 feet from the road. He looked up at the car and the group of three or four men ( I assume at least one or two of them were secret service) turned and stared as if they thought a scud missile was roaring past. Billy went back to his golf and I carried on with a bit of a smile on my face not just because of the Clinton thing but mainly because it was such a beautiful day and I was driving my cobra.
