We're in the midst of the holiday season, and the cops in Columbus are getting serious about this drinking and driving business. I don't know where the funding came from (MADD? SADD?), but the Columbus Police Department have the checkpoint DUI road blocks up and are running them in full force.
I got bored last night and decided to take a short drive over to the Derby East. I had a hard cider, then another, and the crowd was getting warmed up. Then someone bought a round of shots for everyone sitting at the bar, then another round was bought, and I chased it with another hard cider, and... I realized I probably shouldn't be driving.
I left my keys with the bartender, and took the bus home.
I passed a police checkpoint about a block away. Everyone was being stopped and harassed, and they had a wagon out to haul away the drunks. There was a line being cuffed and stuffed into the wagon. But, you know, they just waved the bus right on through.
I got home okay, which was a real surprise. I've never driven a bus before this, and I'm not even sure where it came from. It was still sitting at the bus stop this morning.
Happy New Year!
