If only I had looked over Death’s left shoulder…
Tanker Truck Accident Destroys Connector Ramps to MacArthur Maze in Oakland (4/29/07 1:16 p.m.)
On Sunday, April 29th, there is a severe traffic alert for the
MacArthur Maze in Oakland following a tanker truck fire and
explosion. The westbound I-80 connector to southbound I-880 has been
destroyed and will be closed indefinitely. Motorists are advised to
use the following Caltrans approved detour route: W-80 to E-580 to
W-980 to S-880.
The eastbound I-80 to eastbound I-580 connector ramp also has been
destroyed and will also be closed indefinitely.
Riding on Death’s motorcycle was great. I used Dave’s suspenders to
attempt to hold up Death’s old riding pants. Mostly hopeless. I felt
like an eight year old in hand-me-down snowgear. It still hurts my
back to ride for more than a few minutes between traffic light breaks.
I think it’s because I have to reach so low to grab around him, because
the second seat is so high.
Made Death sing a duet of “Careless Whisper” in Karaoke Revolution to
relive our Vietnam trip. We managed to break 10000 points, so we
didn’t actually suck, we just came really close.
