Daisuke (Demian) and I were driving up from LAX yesterday after I picked him up at the airport and saw somebody around Montecito/Santa Barbara with a Tacoma and campershell on the the top pass us as we were limping along with a mattress tied to the top of my car.
Who were you?

No self respecting climber, I can tell you that.

what? you didn't run him off the road and find out? you weenie CenCal drivers
look, next time, here's what you do. you drive up from behind on an adjacent lane, nudge into their side and rear with the side of your front bumper. you know, a love tap. sit back and watch the truck skid and spin in a cloud of smoke and dust. follow said spinning truck down to ditch. turn off engine, get out, walk over to inquire identity of driver. if he's too incoherent, just take out his wallet and check

That would be me. I even thought "hmm, I wonder if I should PM Kristin, she lives in SLO. Nah, she's got things to do I'm sure. And she's a gimp."
I think we even pointed at you. 'Hey that guy is really struggling'. 'That's not a guy, that's a chick'. 'Well, that chick is really struggling. I hope they don't get blown into our lane. Let's pass them. Quick.'
On the 101, about 1pm or so? We were headed to Montana de Oro to go for a bike ride. My wife is in town for interviews, etc. and wanted to go for a drive up the coast. She got to see a lot of fog. (Actually the fog burned off, but she was quite distressed that it wouldn't. Also exciting was the DC-issue sniper on the way back. Huge fun.)

yeah that was us! you have no idea how many times we tried to tie down that damn thing, but with dynamic rope it didn't work very well! after a while the faithful prussik did the trick. (that was after my climbing rope got all stuck up with silicone from kristin's ski rack)
next time let us know you're in town! and we'll see you in red rocks.

Yeah, that's pretty weird. Small, small world. I'm going to be tickled pink that it was you Tim, for a while.
