• Okay, so the story goes...

  
  

  I was driving a group of girls down to Dupont for small group meeting, and as I'm watching the exit signs, I see 119, and I think to myself, I've still got one more exit.
  Then the next sign I see says, 119.
  So I think, I've still got one more exit.

  
  

  I'm driving on the far left lane of  I-5, and Gloria points out that I'm supposed to take the exit that coming up, which I thought was 119.  So I say that one, and point to it, and she says, yeah, that one.

  
  

  So, I change lanes and see that there's a huge semi truck on my right, and as I'm watching the exit, I realize that the truck isn't driving fast enough for me to slow down and not pass the exit.

  
  

  And what do I do?  I floor it.
  In the end, I cut off the semi truck, and almost missed the exit, but ended up driving through the space between the ramp and highway, which makes my car start to go up and down.  And we're all safely on the ramp.

  
  

  Apparently, it felt like a roller coaster to the girls in the back seat.
  I don't know.  I was pretty calm throughout the whole thing.
