An Uneventful Trip
Uneventful things make for boring reading, so I won't regale you with my uneventful trip last weekend back down to my parents' place to pick up my other car and drive it back to where I am now (I won't call it home for a while yet), except to say this:
If you ever have an "opportunity" to hitch a ride with your in-laws, whom you know from firsthand experience always plot the longest goddamn route to get from point A to point B, and drive the damn speed limit even on roads where it is dangerous to go that slow… do everything in your power to get out of it. Walk away, tell your mate to piss off, offend them all so they rescind the offer… anything to get out of climbing in that car… and spending almost 7 hours to complete a trip that could have been completed in just under 4 in heavy traffic on a rainy night! Gah!
