July 23, 2002 - 11:55 p.m. Cute title. So me and Troy go to Starbucks with everyone tonight. Great times I tell you. Standing around drinking coffee...looking for a book...[dont ask]...Making dollar bets... So I decide to ride with Troy to meet everyone down at the beach. We pull up to this exit by the bank in the shopping center and there are these two cars there...one looks disabled... So this distracts Troy and I for a few seconds and throws us off. So we plan on taking Sunset Point to Hercules to Drew Street to get to the beach and beat everyone else. Well personally I am night blind so I obviously cannot see too well as it is. But as we pull up to this exit, it looks like there is a median, but I cant trust my eyes. So I figure Troy can tell whether or not it is a median, and I have this feeling it is. Troy makes a left...and there is a median with no break here. So basically we are in the innermost lane closest to the median, on the WRONG freaking side of the road...so Troy floors it as I scream about the median and oncoming traffic... We almost run a red light there to get out of the way. God I'm gonna die one of these days in that damn van, and it's not gonna be my fault. Yeah laugh it up guys...you pull into the wrong lane...INTO oncoming traffic and not almost piss yourself.... End of rant for the evening.... [Momentary thought: I wonder what kind of ticket we would have gotten if we had been pulled over......]
