Close calls
Yesterday, I actually decided to drive my car for a change. I hopped on the turnpike for the quick drive to visit my grandma, and the guy behind me in the fast lane was frantically flashing his headlights. Ok, maybe he saw a cop and was warning oncoming traffic. There was a truck full of Jeeps in front of me a little bit in the fast lane (I was in the slow lane) and something didn't look quite right. The roof of the Jeep on the bottom row of the truck was a little crushed. That's when I realized that the Jeep on top WAS FALLING OFF. I'm guessing that a chain broke or something, and 2 of its wheels were hanging off of the truck, crushing the roof of the jeep below it. I gunned it and got up next to the guy, and started blowing my horn and waving my arms. He wasn't seeing me, so I got in front of him, and kept trying to get his attention. The other driver got up next to him, and finally got his attention, and they both pulled over. That'll teach me to drive...

Bike polo last night was awesome. There were a ton of new people there, as well as free cupcakes. There also was thunder, lightning, and rain. And beer. Went out for dollar bottles at the BBT, and ended up going to 80's night. Thankfully I was able to make it home in one piece this time, although I must have hit something on the way home, as my elbows are bloody again.

Good times.
