Whatta day!

Had a good day today. Debbie, Becky’s best friend, organized a mob to go to the Exploratorium. Becky couldn’t go, but I did. I drove up and got on BART at Fremont, and rode to the Montague stop.

At about this point, I read the instructions on the last step of the trip, and noticed that it was directing me onto a bus to get from Market and 2nd to the Exploratorium… and a particularly damaged part of my brain piped up with ‘Screw that, you don’t have the exact change for the bus. Walk it!’.

By the time I realized how bad an idea this was, I was halfway across town, having walked up to Van Ness on my way to Lombard. My Blackberry gave me directions that would’ve made perfect sense if I was a car, and I followed them to a T. It was about 3 miles as the moron meanders. I’m done walking for a while.

The Exploratorium is awesome as always, and I continue to recommend the Tactile Dome to all and sundry if you can remember to reserve it. This is the part that made the whole day worth it.

On the drive back, I was starting to hurt from the long walk, and wasn’t paying close enough attention; as I got onto 1, I noticed I was doing almost 90. I slowed down, and thought ‘damn, I deserved a ticket for that one.’

So a CHiPpie gave me one. Very obliging. Guess I get to go plan for traffic school sometime soon.
