I admit. I am guilty of speeding down I-80. Dawn at the brink of break, and more than 5 hours deep into the overnight haul from cleveland to nyc, I was pulled over and handed a $120 ticket (“the cheapest ticket you’ll get in PA,” the officer consoled me) for going 60mph in a 55 limit.. Pls don’t ask how fast I was actually going. Alex says he was nice to me cos I’m a girl, though generally “PA cops are the meanest” (words he muttered just a few moments before I passed a radar gun… Too many coincidences this trip – ie, flashing lights at yellow barn, garfield park, donkey kong, mexican food, couples with cats).
We left at 12:40 and rolled into bklyn 8 hours later, after dropping off nathan and fel on canal and lafayette. Wish I coulda dropped em home, esp since fel has a cold, but morning rush hour is a nightmare 
So we split across town from the holland tunnel to the manhattan bdge, sped under the verrazano, and a heart stopping false alarm when a cruiser creeps behind me, threatening me with another ticket… and finally home at last. Coney island feels especially dreary and cold after such an eventful week under a bright blue sky.
Nathan and alex are at work now.
Thanks alex btw, for shooting the shits with me for 7 hours. U rocked shotgun and had lots of useless nonsense to blab on about (nuclear fusion/fission was by far my fav topic). Nice work with mappage too.
I wonder what carlos and felicia are up to.
I want to clean out my fridge today.
Tour over. The end.
