every day's a new dumb adventure

sunday drivers and crooked streets.

last night, we found ourselves one block from the infamous Lombard Street, and Randall mentioned that he'd never driven down it before. Naturally we made up for that and drove down it right then (it was past 11 and the line was gone). Once we were done, Randall told me that while Lombard was more picturesque, he was positive that Vermont felt windier. I tried to make him take me then so we could see, but he said we should wait until the morning, especially because he didn't think all this windiness went with all the wine i had been drinking.

So we went today, and according to wikipedia (which, as you know, is never debatable) Vermont is indeed more "crooked." You can see for yourself:

as thick as thieves

after beer o'clock, dk offered me a ride home, and since i am always looking for a way to avoid my hill, i naturally responded yes.

on our way home we stopped to fill up the tank, and since it was nearly 8pm, we also pondered dinner. at some point dk decided she wanted ike's and i always say yes to that. sadly, even when you call ahead, ike's takes forever.

so with 30 minutes to kill and a tank full of gas, we drove around doing a lot of nothing, dancing to the radio. we went up tiny alleys and around the mint, and we almost died like twice, but it was funs.

ps. garrick once said that dk and i were "as thick as thieves." - i hadn't thought of it that way before, but i suppose it works. this is assuming of course that thieves are loud obnoxious folks that laugh too much.
