empallinAs i got closer to my final destination things got really crazy. I remember a lot of this but it won't make sense. If you are familiar with the Boston area keep in mind that my taget destination was basically Mass Ave and Comm Ave. Also keep in mind that the roads in this are make absolutely no sense and I had never driven them before. In the end it ended up being like a scene from a movie where they show the car going back and forth and just missing the destination. Now let's get this over with
I pulled off the highway somewhere around Framinghan to tell them I was reall close and should be there any minute. Had to fill up one last time anyway. Turned out to be a good thing I did anyway. So I find this nasty little gas station and get my gas. Then I pull the ten feet over to the payphone. I drop change in and start to dial. The phone is not working well. I am hearing a radio station. and that is all I heard even after playing with it for a bit. A radio station over a payphone is really not a good sign, So I give up trying to use this one and look to see if there is another one within sight. All I see is this crappy gas station, a school and a police station. That is my clue to get to hell out of there. So I hope back into the Corrola. Sure enough it wants to play it's little gane again. This is really starting to suck. So i sit there thinking about trying the payphone again. Not a chance. I am excited because I am so close but pissed because I am so far. Finally it starts and I am back off. Somehow I ended up on Boylston Ave. I think this is a good thing because that is the road my new address is on. That happens to be right nest to where AEPB works. If I can find where he works, I can sit there until he gets off and get there the easy way. Sounds like a plan.
So I start heading down it, in the right direction even. Then I notice that the nubers are going down and then starting over again. What the fuck is that? I did not know it was doing that every time I crossed a town line. Damn suburbs. So I was driving down this road into the great unknown. I was not seeing anything I was looking for and eventually hit a point where I was sent off this road and back on to the highway. Ok. The next thing I know I am going across this really high bridge. I was looking down at the sign on a paking garage advertising an early bird special thinkiing " I could go there and make them come to me . But I would have to find it first." I know without actually knowing that I am going to somewhere no where near where I need to be. So as soon as I get across this bridge I find a place to turn around.
I decide rather than getting back on that bridge I will dodge it. Stay on the low roads. Maybe I will see something I can identify. Maybe I will find that parking garage. I just knew that the place where I got on that bridge was not where I wanted to go back to. So I am driving around all these screwed up roads. I end up back on a highway. Again. Then I end up going back up to that bridge to Revere. FUCK! Ok, back to where I turned around. So I pull into this parking lot and fume for a few minute. Now I was tired, lost and so pissed.
Hey, cool, a payphone. Time to call them again. Time to get this straigntened out. Time to settle down a bit. And it went a little something like this...
"Hello"
"Where are you. Yoou were supposed to be here hours ago
"I am so lost." and then rambling about a bridge.
"Ok where are you"
"Would I be lost if I know here I was"
"What is srond there? Streets maybe?"
"Well I am in the parking lot for this dollar store thing. And they have storage units. There is a Dunkin Donuts across the street. the street are [X} and {X}"
"I have no idea where you are"
"Shit!"
"Why don't you go inside and ask somebody"
"Because that would make sense"
So that is what I did. I got some half assed direction that go me to Mass Ave. And then it was time for even more Corolla games. Sat there staring at the storage units. I could put my stuff there. So I wrote down the number. Finally my car was off. So between the map and the directions I got on to Mass Ave going the right direction. At one point I was driving right towards a Masonic Temple with this big tile symbol on the side of the building. I took that as a good sign. Then I crossed another bridge. The one that cuts through the MIT campus and connects Boston and Cambridge. This was so good. To bad I missed my turn. Oh shit, that was Comm Ave. Yes! Gotta turn around but it's no big loss at this point. So I got turned around and as I go past Tower, I see AEPB going in. He denies this but I will argue the fact. Fuck it, I can't stop here. So I go up the next block to Comm Ave. Which way do I turn? Right. I had been here before but it was only one day and it was mostly dark out. These numbers were too high.
So I make the loop back around. Back across Mass Ave. I see a number that almost matches. And one more loop around the park in the middle of the road. Then I turn away from looking at numbers for a second and almost right in front of me standing in a parking space is an
angel in black.
