Officer to Lakeside

I had a great ride a little while ago -- a Navy Lieutenant going from the downtown area all the way out to Lakeside. It's a nice drive; 94 to 125 to the 8, then up into the hills overlooking El Cajon. It was a nice drive and a nice conversation. The guy is ready to retire, having put in his 20 years with the Navy. He said he was up for promotion to Lieutenant Commander, so he may stay for that and then retire in two years. That would make his penis pension bigger.

On the way back I opted for the 8 all the way down through Mission Valley, which is a fun drive at night. The freeway winds downhill along the valley floor all the way from El Cajon almost to the Pacific Ocean.
