Trudy, have you tried melatonin?
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Happy birthday, Emmett!

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty
I still remember white-knuckling my way through the Caldecott Tunnel and over the Bay Bridge for the first time at 19, and damn near having to pull over and throw up at the end of the drive.
I was probably 30 or almost when I drove in San Francisco the first time. I'd been driving since I was 18, and most of that was professionally, so I felt pretty confident. And your above comment precisely describes how I felt having to drive, oh, anywhere, JZ. And some of my travels included crossing the GG twice.
Yeah, pull over and throw up is about right.

Our wings are not tired
Huh, other than the fact that I don't have a good sense of direction in San Francisco driving there has never phased me, even the first time which was when I was still in my teens and drove up from San Diego.

I don't know. For me, even with all my experience, I hadn't done a lot of real hills or big bridges at freeway speeds. These days it doesn't phase me at all.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't think I've ever driven in SF - every time I've visited I've relied on friends & taxis.
LA drivers annoy me, but I think it's just that the driving cultures in LA vs the East Coast cities I'm used to are so different.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hence, why I Do Not take the motorcycle over to the East Bay. GG Bridge is fine, though. Fun, even. Bay Bridge? Fuck, no.

See, driving in LA doesn't phase me because it's so similar to Miami driving. Before the first time I went to LA everyone was all "Oh, the drivers, the drivers!" and I got out there and was like "What? I don't see it."
Only place that's ever phased me driving-wise was downtown Chicago, oddly enough.

Punishingly Intricate
I always had a great time driving in SF! I was always in rental cars and loved trying to catch a little air on some of the big hills.

Yeah, I think the fact that I kept having to drive in strange cities in rental cars for work, and not know where I was going, made ALL cities seem freaky and ACK, but also "whatever", at some point...
