After a little wine, and a good evening with friends, it's now time to end b/c you realize that you need to get up early the next day. However, coming out to the parking lot knowing that the drive home is about 45 minutes-1hour highway distance - not seeing your car could be a little disturbing!
However, if your gonna get your car towed, this is how to do it! when you are with people that know the ropes and your federal income tax made its grand entrance into your checking account, this is the beginning of a beautiful adventure!!!
1) Johnny knew before we even got to the parking lot that my car was towed
2) The phone number was on the sign
3) the place was @1/2hr away, but still open even though it was late at night!
4) Other wheels and people were available to join in on and assist the adventure!
5) Nicole becomes Arwin, Grace Samwise and i become Frodo.
6) Wonderfully, our friend Fernando lives in Rockville, a couple streets down from the impounding place where Buddy lies. Emmanuel is chillin with him making a video for our party next week.
7) We travel past the sign that tells us how fast we are going, into the road that's made of brick, under the bridge and out pops Fernando and Emanuel!
8) At the car lot, we enter a little room with an older lady and younger guy. i have compassion on this old lady b/c i'm sure she has to deal with some pretty irate people at unfavorable hours of the night. However, we were very happy and in good spirits, laughing and n-joying being together, even under this testy circumstance.
9) i looked over to see Emmanuel standing guard at the window watching closely for the safety of Grace and Nicole! How valiant!
10) i pay the fee and jump back into Nicoles car to follow the guy a block away to "the yard" - pic above.
11) The yard is dark, dingy and muddy from today's showers and behind a gated fence...typical to a movie where everything seems normal until that one turn, or whatever..just a whole new environment!
12) Collect Buddy, drop off the guys, collaborate with Nicole and Grace about who gets to take Grace home, get directions and part ways.
It was like clockwork! What could have been a terrible ending to a wonderful evening, turned out to be a smoothly executed ad-libbed adventure! What a wonderful beginning to more adventures to come in Silver Spring!
