6:30-ish p.m. - 8:10-ish p.m. - We sit around and chat about whether or not to drive down to our friend's house in NW DC to watch the BYU vs. San Diego basketball game.
Sometime in the 7:00 hour - I forgot about the strange light flashes that reminded me of what a UFO would put off, if they were real.
8:25 p.m. - Help some guy get his car unstuck. Yes, 4 girls pushing and he attempted to drive. Kelly had to keep telling him what to do. 4 broken backs later he was out. He apparently offered to help us get out of our spot, but I own a Subaru, 'nuff said.
8:31 p.m. - We leave our parking lot to head down to our friend's house. Approximate mileage from our house to his is 7 miles.
9:00-ish p.m. We have gone about .5 miles from our house and have circled back so we can get onto Beach drive. There was traffic everywhere with cars stalled and abandoned all over the street. This is what it looked like.
Us in the car having the time of our lives. What an adventure!!
10:15 p.m. We arrive at our friend's house. I look like a homeless woman and my knees hurt from pushing on the break, clutch and gas for the past 2 hours.

Livin' the life!
