So in June I took a trip to San Diego to see my sisters’ high
school graduation.
The
drive was pretty long, but not uneventful. In Gilroy, I saw some
smoke in the distance, and as I got closer, I saw two cars pulled to
the side of the little two lane highway. As I got closer still, I saw
a fire, probably 30 yards in diameter or so, and then in the middle
of it, I saw a white pickup truck engulfed in flames. It was a crazy
sight. As soon as I saw this, I heard sirens behind me, so I pulled
over to the dirt on the side of the highway. After the police passed
me, I started to drive again, but stopped as the officer made a 3
point turn in front of me. As soon as the path was clear, I took off
and got out of there. A small line of cars started forming on the
other side of the highway. I didn’t capture any pictures of the
event (hopefully for obvious reasons), but it was quite a sight.
After I got on I-5, the drive was pretty normal, not much happened.
When
I got home, I was pleased to see the family cat Sia. She had run away
from home some time ago and I was glad to see her safe at the house.
The
Monday after I got there was not very eventful, it seems most people
have work on a Monday in the middle of the day. I wasn’t an
exception either, as I did a few tasks on my work laptop. I still
managed to meet up with some of my friends in the afternoon and got
some Mexican food. Mexican food in San Diego is the best (Well ok,
sure my times actually in Mexico were a little better haha). Anyways,
I also got to play Overcooked 2, which was a total blast haha! I
would highly recommend it. The premise is simple, you and a small
team have to cook food in this game. It takes intense levels of
coordination, otherwise everyone is just running all over the place.
We started to really get the hang of it. Before long it was 1 am
haha.
Tuesday
was the day of the actual graduation. There was a nice breeze and the
ceremony was nice. We went out to a ramen place after. I had sushi
as it was still summer and I wanted something cool.
Then
my brother and I spent 3 hours washing, waxing and cleaning my car.
It looks great now. I think this is the first time I have waxed my
car.
Well,
shortly after I got there, it was time to go home. The ride home was
pretty uneventful except for my stop to get gas in LA. I had to go to
3 gas stations to use a bathroom. And then I hit 20-30 minutes of
traffic just to get back on the freeway. So that part was a
nightmare. I don’t know how anyone lives in LA! haha, just kidding.
Lots of people say that about California in general.
