Reminds me of when a new restaurant opened in my town and people were driving up onto railroad tracks that were just short of the right turn they were supposed to make. This was in comparably tame New York State, done by people who well know the rules of the road in these parts.

I'm glad you found a friend, survived the day's rides, got access to your money, and got your computer back up and running so you could tell us all about it.
