I'll keep that in mind, Sparky! My mom was wondering if I'd be able to take two weeks off in March or April so we can drive down to Florida, with a stop in Savannah on the way. Maybe I can see if we can add a detour to Williamsburg, as well (when we were there before, it was August and 100+ degrees, so April would be a definite change).
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

I just need enough lead time to ask my Aunt to get the tickets. They aren't day-specific.

There are a couple of things I want down on the universe's permanent record.
First, just because it's called the "Country Mart" and it is made up of cute buildings does NOT actually make it a country mart because it's in FUCKING Brentwood.
Second, in the parking lot at Country Mart, you can't occupy a space that my car is already in, even though you are trying to back up to let someone out of their parking space so you can have it. As much as I'd like to get away from you, Mr. Fucking Awful Driver, I can't. Until I can figure out how to disapparate me and my car, I'm in occupying space and you can't occupy it simultaneously.

ALSO, it's weird to me that the Country Mart is the location of the City Bakery. But not as weird as the fact that the Country Mart has valets.

That is kinda funny.
In addition to the "motorcyclists stay safe" theme, I'd like to ask drivers to watch for us. I damn near got sideswiped by a taxi TWICE on my ride in today as I was legally occupying a lane (I never split lanes). Jackass. I hope his passenger didn't tip him.

Cars are supposed to allow cycles the same space they would allow a car and are never to occupy the same horizontal stretch of the same lane. Aside from killing a biker (not that that's the secondary concern at all), at night, that could just as easily be a one eyed car.
