Where's that Car?



Jim, Joel, Melissa, and I all went to the Poinsettia Bowl game and watched Navy soundly stomp Colorado State 51-30. That gave me comfort especially after seeing that BYU extended its losing streak. The half time fireworks were impressive, and the hot dogs hit the spot. We had drunk Navy fans to laugh at and all in all the night was great... until we tried to come home. Finding the car at Qualcomm Stadium proved much harder than we had anticipated. The stadium is just plain huge. We thought that we knew where the car was, but as we walked back and forth to no avail the panic set in. Jim's "good feeling" completely disappeared. The not so happy feeling that the car might have been stolen was upon us. We had joked about two guys as we arrived at the game who were loitering around, that they were going to watch the car for us. Now it seemed that they really did it. Jim found a water bottle on the ground that we may have dropped as exiting the vehicle, but the car was no where in sight. We kept walking back and forth. The line of cars leaving the stadium was gone, but still no sight of our car. Jim kept hitting the panic button on the car remote, but all that we could hear were the cars from other people hitting the panic button on their remotes. And then suddenly we saw the car with its light flashing, and the relief set in. We found it, and we could come home. I was really glad too, because I had way too much Sierra Mist. So Howard and Jeannie, sorry that we lost your car, but hey at least we found it.
