TBWCL Day 276 - Here, hold my life for me

Yesterday I was supposed to put my life in someones hands. At first, I had no idea what to do about this. Diana was leaving town and I worked at the comic book store so the number of possibilities for this were limited.

While at lunch I called my friend Ryan and invited he and his wife to get together. Turns out they would be near my house later in the evening and I knew I could count on Ryan to help me out. This is when my plan came together.

Once Ryan got to my house I proposed my plan. The two of us get in my truck and with me wearing a blindfold, he would give me directions and we would circle the block. I figure being blind behind the wheel of a car while someone gives you directions shows a level of trust with your life. So, we drove to the start of my alley and I threw my blindfold on. Going around 10 mph Ryan navigated me through the alley without hitting anything and we ventured onto the street.

I live in a neighborhood that cul de sacs at the end of the block so we took a hard left onto that street and slowly navigated between cars and looped around back to my house. We made it without any damage to any vehicles. It was rather exhilarating.

I think I would easily trust Ryan with my life now that I know he keeps a cool head under pressure. He was able to give me directions pretty well and get me up to about 20 mph for a while. Driving blind is a wild sensation.

That is all,

Newt
