one weird night
Around 9:50 we drove across town to Sara and Brad's to watch South Park. On the way down the freeway exit from Beltline highway we saw the lights of flares. The exit onto Jefferson was blocked by police, a fire truck, and an ambulance. Oh, and a half-crushed sedan next to a sideways SUV. Yes, the SUV was on its side, completely tipped over. It's the only time I've ever wanted to be stuck at that light just so I could ogle. But for once, the light was green.

We drove around, went down a few blocks and back up tenth street. There were two cars stopped at the red light. A woman, dressed like she was just getting off work, was getting out of one car. I'm not sure if the other car was involved or just sitting at the light behind her. On the sidewalk was a group of punk kids, some of them with bikes, about our age. The woman looked like she was motioning to a girl to get into the car, or maybe she was guesturing at one of the guys. In any case, the guy was screaming at her and being held back by his friends. The woman looked exasperated. I rolled down the window and we considered driving back up Jefferson to get the police but by that point the light had turned green and South Park was about to start.

Can't let real life get in the way of Christopher Reeve sucking stem cells out of a fetus. Nope.
