my fun trip home

[Andrew Bohan]

yep, raced around thunderhill all day, then it was time to go home. after we all ate at denny's, i took off with george as my passenger and howard following me in his car.

40 miles out of willows, my aftermarket gauges suddenly started reading 0, then the gauge cluster and headlights gradually dimmed enough so i couldn't see anything, and my car was running like shit. so i pulled off the freeway to see wtf was going on. howard though i was joking and george thought we were dying (cuz he was asleep as i crossed the rumble strip).

after some investigating and phone calls, we decided the alternator was bad and my car had been running on battery power alone. we called up anthony, who had rented a trailer and took another broken car home already. anthony agreed to come back and get my car too. hooray. soon enough, luke pulled up behind us to chill while we waited. a couple hours later, anthony showed up and we were on our way back to luke's house. hooray.

then one exit before luke's house, stopped to get some diesel, and anthony ran over this dustpan in the middle of the gas station driveway. there was another guy getting gas who was blocking the diesel pump, and he didn't like it that anthony didn't care about running over the dustpan, so he deliberately did everything very slowly to hold us up. anthony got impatient and asked how long he was gonna be. then the guy started talkin about the dustpan and this and that and who cares. then he called the police on us. the police came and told anthony it's common courtesy to wait for people to finish at the gas station...nothing about running over dustpans. so we finally got our diesel and left.

now i'm borrowing howard's E320. nice car btw.

i got to sleep around 4am, and was at work by 8:30. hooray.

thanks anthony for picking me up, thanks howard for letting me borrow you car, thanks luke for stopping to chill, thanks guy at the gas station for being a douchebag and calling the cops on us.
