Shooting the Y. Anyone from SJ and most who have traveled to SJ know what I am talking about. Just at the bottom of the 11 mile hill the Y can be found. Shooting it consist of going up the one way section of the intersection the wrong way.
When I was in high school it was the thing to do. I never did though. You could say I was either chicken or sane. Only on one occasion had I ever been in the vehicle while someone accomplished the feat and that seemed enough for me.
So on my way up to SJ today the idea entered my mind and... I didn't do it! I went through Snowflake so I couldn't even if I wanted to, but just the idea got me thinking. I was always a bit of a stick in the mud. I was the friend who always asked "what if." I did plenty of stupid things in high school but for the most part I did them somewhat safely. I wasn't present for the 30 acre brush fire and didn't have the $5,000 bounty on my head as did some of my friends.
I don't know whether or not my friends appreciated it then but at least we are all still alive and out of prison. So this summer me and three of my best friends from high school are going to Seattle for a little vacation. One said that they are taking me to keep them out of trouble and I am fine with that. I got their backs and I know they have mine.

I know about the brush fire, but what about the $5000 bounty?
Ask Buddy about the photo copier given to him by George.
