My friend Pippa Garner died! She was 82. What a weirdo! Human Prototype, transgendered in the 80's -- “I remember looking in the mirror one day — this was in the ’80s — and I thought, ‘Hey, I’m an object, too. I’m just another appliance.’”

I met her through our mutual friend Erika Wanenmacher in Santa Fe as a fellow (sic) car nut. She'd also been an illustrator or something for one of the major car rags, ROAD AND TRACK, or something.

She built a pedal-powered Honda automobile and rode around town and got in trouble.
