Pens crush Canes. Also, my harrowing journey home.

On Thursday night, the Penguins beat the Canes 5-2. The rest of my night included my car conking out at a gas station, my phone conking out while I was trying to call for help, my friend Patrick’s phone running perilously low on battery, a pair of jumper cables from a good Samaritan which did more harm than good, a discussion with a very cute girl about how cell phones and cigarettes WILL NOT blow up a gas station, a couple of other Samaritans with myriad advice, a roadside assistance guy who never showed up, a great deal of confusion about where exactly I was, and finally an excellent roadside assistance by Howard from Bull City Towing.
At the end of it all, I’m alive, Howard cleaned up and recharged my car’s battery, and it seems for now like the battery was the only problem. It cost me a little bit of money, but it wasn’t as bad as any of the scenarios I had running through my head when I realized that my car and my phone were disabled late at night 50 miles from home.
That whole ordeal somehow made me forget about the pounding that the Canes took.
