Day 276 (642) - Drinking rest stop coffee at 4 in the morning
How did I get here? Well, I had to retrieve my cell phone from the last time I was here. Why was I here the first time? I was driving around on I-5 trying to pass some time. Why was I trying to pass time in the middle of the night? Well, because I stayed out too late, so everyone was asleep in their locked apartment when I got back. Umm... whoops. The phone? Nope, everyone was asleep for good.
So I set to it: I tuned in Coast to Coast AM, got some coffee from an all-night drive-through coffee house, and set to cruising. Up and down SR-99, up and down I-5. Stopped at a rest area to use the restroom, and headed back. After parking, I checked my pockets to see if I had everything. I noticed I was missing my phone. And the only place I could have left it? Yeah, in that restroom at that rest stop about 30 miles north on I-5. Back in the car, back up north, back to the stall... and there it is. So I grabbed a cup of coffee and thought, "Hey, this might make for an interesting story. Plus, if I sleep all day, I'll already have a 365 shot to go with." So, by the time I got back again, Tonja was awake, and I was not stuck outside anymore.
