Heed The Warning Signs

I saw a couple of old friends yesterday

and we started talking about my new job,

being

Lyft

driver.

What we talked about was,

how this type of cheap transportation could have saved us out of a lot of trouble with the

Courts

and thousands of dollars in

Fines,

back in the day.

Or,

you can

Heed The Warning Signs In Life

given to you by

Karma.

For example;

I was bullheaded kind of beer drinker in my younger days

and I used to drive home after sitting at a bar for a couple of hours after work.

One night I stayed a little too long,

but still decided to drive home.

Which is at least 25 miles

or 40 kilometers between my

Home & Bar.

So,

on this drunken night,

Karma

saw to it that I had good luck going my way.

I was driving erratically,

going onto the shoulder,

then compensating too much the other way,

ending up in the middle of the road,

sometimes crossing over into the on-coming-traffic-lane.

I was about half way home when a vehicle came up behind me flashing its lights

and beeping its horn.

I thought for sure,

this was it.

I was going to get busted for drunk driving.

I pulled over

and waited.

Suddenly,

this person opens my driver side door

and says;

"Move over. I'm a Christian!"

He drove me home while his girlfriend followed us in his car.

I couldn't see the warning signs that my drinking was getting out of hand,

because on the very next day,

I went to the bar

and told everyone what had happened.

We all laughed

and laughed on how lucky I was.

But my luck ran out.

Two weeks later,

I was busted for

Driving-While-Under-The-Influence.

It was a lesson I needed to learn

and soon quit drinking thereafter.

My family was happy that I did too!

If I would have heeded

Karma's Warning

of if they had a program like

Lyft

back in the day,

I wonder how things might have been different.

One thing though,

I might have a drink

or two on a special occasion,

I just never get drunk anymore

or drive a car after having a beer.

This is,

Still Thanking Karma For Helping Me Never To Have An Accident In California While Drinking,

- Ernest Hemingway -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
