Here's a good story to ease you into the weekend.

It comes from the Wall Street Journal and is a tale about a 58-year-old woman, who describes herself as a "wannabe hippie" back in the 1970s. Her 1965 VW Microbus was stolen from her 44 years ago, and she's trying to reunite with her beloved van now that it's been recovered -- in pristine condition -- just as it was about to be shipped to Europe.

Read the story here.

But hurry.

In a related development, Rupert Murdoch, who owns the Wall Street Journal, says he intends to remove all Journal stories from the Google indexing.

The Wall Street Journal charges for the content on its site, but if you know the story you're looking for you can normally find it through a Google search. The Google results make the story available in full and without charge.

But Murdoch says he's losing money when his content is given away for free, and he says he intends to stop indexing Journal stories for search.
