Chris, my bowling partner, works at the bowling alley (by the way, he kills me both games ... I never break 80), so I am able to talk him into taking me to "the back." I've always wanted to go back and watch the machines work ...
Look, bumpers!
My adventures are winding down, so I have Jim call a cab for me. I asked for transportation this evening, as I have done enough driving on bad roads, plus Paul's Motel never bothered to plow the 6 inches of snow out of their parking lot. And I love my new car.
Cab is called. I must kill time. I put a quarter in a gumball machine and get a tattoo, which I decide belongs on Jim.
Eric, entrusted with paying the cab driver for me, tries to win me a stuffed animal. I hope that's not my cab fare.
Finally, I just get comfortable. Sure enough, the cab now arrives.
The back of my cab driver's head.
And Sunday morning, as I leave my motel, the parking lot is still not plowed! Ack!
