I guess I have the apartment to myself this weekend. michael is off on his third world vacation and Chris is flying back to Florida for a long weekend.
Anyway, as I'm writing this, there is a truck stuck in the gate to our parking lot. The girl driving the pickup apparently couldn't center herself in the opening and drove as far to the left as possible, but she managed to catch the gate. She rove back and forth a few times trying to get the truck off the gate, but only managed to put more scratches in her truck. I imagine turning the wheels might have helped, but that didn't seem to occur to her so she just drive straight forward and straight back a few times. Then she called in backup, in the form of some friends or family who managed to get her extricated. I just hope the gate survives. She's out of the gate, but it doesn't seem to want to close. No, I spoke too soon. As I was typing that sentence, the gate closed. So now all is fixed except that truck.

Yeah, I passed her while I was on the way to the gym. Luckily I managed to get my car through or I would have been pretty annoyed at her stupidity. If you don't know how to handle a truck, don't drive one around!
Did she flatten her tire, coz it looked like her tire was flat when I passed it. Either that or I was just wondering what the hell it was doing stuck in the middle of the gate.

Is it a third-world vacation, or his second + 1 world vacation? In other words, how lowly do you think of Acapulco, or does Michael just get around a lot?
