Well, everybody on 175 and 95 the past few weeks
have been playing padiddle with my car. For about 3 weeks, I've been driving
with only one headlight (but with Three Marlenas). And I'm pretty sure it
pointed straight down. And it was on the left side of the car, so if I wanted
to read any sort of sign at all, I had to blind whoever happened to be in front
of me with my brights. But now that problem is over. The other headlight went
out. What the hell is that? What are the odds of both headlights going out less
than 4 weeks apart from each other? Then I started to think about it. I'm just
gonna guess that they were both put in at about the same time. And they were
probably both the same kind and when one is on, the other is always on too. So
I guess the answer to the question is pretty high. So now I have to drive with
my brights on all the time. I imagine that gets really annoying to people. But
the problem is that people coming at me can easily flash their brights or honk
their horn or express their discontent in other ways. But people in front of me
just have to keep driving along while being blinded by my lights, wrapped up
like a deuce, another roamer in the night. Or they could slam on the breaks and
let me rear end them. But it's either that, or drive without lights, which is
probably much more dangerous. But they don't know that. So they just think I'm
a dick. Oh well. I just hope these lights weren't put in at the same time as
the regular headlights.
To continue my New Jersey cop story, the cop eventually let me off after
frisking my middle hitter, as I already told you about. Lauren was jealous that
they didn't frisk her. I guess he's just not into that. Anyway, he saw that I
was lost and helped me by leading me back to the hotel along the back roads,
which would have taken me hours and at least 5 more illegal turns, I'm sure.
And I realized that he hadn't yet seen that I didn't have one of my headlights.
So I turned on my brights, hoping he wouldn't know that they were my brights
and knowing he didn't know I only had one headlight. Well, after I got back to
the hotel safely, he turned around, rolled his window down, and said on the way
out "Don't drive with your brights on son, and get that headlight fixed as
soon as possible." Damn he's good. So anyway, I was telling this story to
Geoff and Stryker and they wanted to know which "middle hitter" the
guy frisked. I told them it was Andy, and they got this look on their face that
I could tell was the equivalent of "who dat?" So I told Stryker it
was actually my back-up middle hitter...
