Saturday night was interesting. I spent it with the guy I told you about in my post Karma Wins. It was a fun evening and I really enjoyed getting to watch Family Guy with a fan. I also met the husband, and was reminded what I was going through with Rick. He was gracious in offering up his guest Casita for me to spend the night (and I needed it too as a surprise expense came up.)
Anyhow, he lives near San Diego State and I woke up at the insane hour of 4.00 AM to get the 215 Rapid to Downtown to get the trolley to Iris Avenue and the connecting bus to the storage locker to grab my stuff and head to Palm Springs.
This bus runs hourly and I wound up with a 40 minute wait for the next one. Five minutes into the wait two Border Patrol officers offered me a ride to the Trolley (Beyer Blvd which is one stop down.)
That was an interesting ride. I learned a little about their job and office banter and they learned more about the life of a frequent flyer as far as border crossing is concerned. I even gave one of them the gay male perspective on their developing mustache. The also appreciated the props I gave for PedWest.
And let's face it. Behind the Kevlar vests, cops are people too.
Anyway, I promise to pay these forward.
