the usual questions. We talked for about five minutes and then I went on my way. After getting back on the main road I started to think just how I had acted with the clerk and I can honestly say that I didn't act much dif- ferent than I would if I would have been dressed as a man. After about a day in a dress I feel much more relaxed and natural going about than I do as a man. I have reached a point that I look more like a woman even with male attire than I realize. I have been called "Miss" or "Ma'am" so many times when I am not wearing a dress that I don't even bat an eye- lid. I'll give some examples of this later on in the story.

I kept telling myself that I should stop and see if I could get the lights fixed before night time caught up with me. I just hate to stop and kill a lot of time when I'm trying to get some place, so it was almost dark when I finally pulled into a big truck stop and asked if someone could try and find out what the trouble was. You should have seen all the truck drivers look at me then at the big motor home! I was lucky, they found a loose wire within a very short time and I was back on the road. I should men- tion that while I was waiting for the repairs I had put put water in the tub and placed all my clothes that needed washing in it. The motion of the vehicle while driving acts like a washing machine and they really come out nice and clean. I do my clothes every night before going to bed and I never have any dirty clothes laying around so I never run short on wearing apparel.

I am also glad that I have an adequate bust. If I had to wear a very padded bra down south I think I would melt!

I had looked at the literature on the air-conditioner and realized that I would pass right through the city (Dallas) where it was made, so there couldn't be a better place to have it checked out. I got in on Sunday night and it was so hot that I drove around for a few hours just to keep from melting. I couldn't find a park so I pulled into a K-Mart and spent the night. I got up the next morning and sat on the edge of the bed trying to figure out what I should do. Should I go to the plant as Diana or change the other way. I finally decided to go as Diana, after all, I had to have some- thing to write about, didn't I? I parked right in front of the building, checked my makeup and gracefully leaped out of the coach. I must ad- mit that I was just a little nervous when I walked into the plush reception room and was faced with about four or five very young and pretty girls. I explained my problem to one of them and she called someone who came down and made me tell it again. Then I was told that I would have to go to the service stop a few blocks away.

When I pulled into the place I had to look around for someone to help
