Top Gear hire car

So as we progressed through our descent into San Francisco this morning and I looked out the window I noticed my empty water bottle with its lid on slowly imploding and crackling. Made me wonder if that was happening to my internal organs or ear drums – I quickly grabbed some gum to chew out of my bag.

On 3 hours sleep (flight wasn’t too turbulent, just couldn’t sleep) we lined up at a huge bank of rental car counters to collect our car, drive 45 minutes or so on the freeway, collect coffee for us and Bev and Dan at a town near where they live then get across to their place before it cooled down. We made it. And the car is just like the Suzuki Liana track car from Top Gear (just badged differently here)!! With a lady telling The Mister which way to go so I had to be quiet again.
