The nice thing about a car is that you can go places. For example, at 12:00pm on Saturday my smart co-owner proposed we drive up to New York. I took 3 ibuprofen, had 2 double espressos and a cold shower and by 12:30pm I was in a state of mind where I could say “Yes – let’s do it!”. And off we went.
When she asked if it was an “indoor” bathroom I said yes. But she meant one of those bathrooms that you enter from the indoors, which it wasn’t. It’s true, some things you enter from the outdoors aren’t as nice (bathrooms, motel rooms, crackhouses).
When we arrived in NYC I saw this bumper sticker that says if you shoot a cop you get a $10 000 reward. That’s decent money. Funny thing is that is was located on a police vehicle, of all things.
It’s just as easy to park a smart car in NYC as it is in Washington. You can tell this because this photo has a view from our final destination, and the car is only a stone’s throw away. It was actually more fun to watch people interact with the car from afar than it was to explore NYC (see those 2 people?).
There’s a real problem with white negros in NYC.
I just don’t get this. Is the solution to get drugged and march for peace? Then get back to the office and do some planning on how to achieve world peace? Or, maybe wait for the drugs to wear off and then do the planning part? Or, on a different level: “Maybe if we combine “drugs” with “peace” they’ll legalize the drugs! (or at least let us take them for the march!)”
Near the end of the trip we found ourselves in Soho or Chinatown or something. I don’t know except there were friggin bag and watch sellers everywhere verbally accosting me and trying to sell me crap. After I shot the cop and collected my reward I bought one item from each of them just to shut them up.
To make this trip a palindrome we stopped off at the Starbucks shown earlier to get a coffee for the road (to really make it a palindrome I also followed the coffee with a redbull). The amazing thing about this Starbucks is the manager’s name. I’ve often thought about great or odd names I could make a reality when I have my firstborn (usually involves making the first name the same as the last, or making the first name some inanimate object like “table”). But I never would have thought of this cool name: Spacious Starkes.
(Oh, yeah, the smartcart held up. Did you think it couldn’t take the highway?)
