Usually 8:00pm would not be a most optimal starting point for an evening of ride-share driving. Not the case tonight. Got a ping right out of the garage.
Picked up near Rio Grande and 16th street. Holy shit! That was a fox that just ran across the road. Not what I would expect to see in the middle of the city but then again, deer run all over the place so why not a fox as well. The rider was going to the airport and just as the last 2 trips to the airport, I received a request for a pick up the moment I had dropped off. The couple I picked up where headed right back where I had just came from.
Just as I dropped them off at a hotel, I received a ping for a rider just up the street. He was headed to Lakeway, which is a somewhat long trip, and asked if that was going to be okay. Of course it was okay. On the way to the drop off address, the rider stated that he had just had dinner with Dennis Quaid and last week with Richard Linklater. We had good conversation for the duration of the ride.
Upon dropping him off, I received another request nearby. This was the first time I had dropped off or picked a rider in Lakeway and now I had done it twice. I dropped this one off nearby and unbelievably received a third Lakeway request. Equally unbelievable was that they were headed north and would be dropped off near home.
I had one more rider that pushed me even closer to home and upon dropping him off, I declared that the night was finished.
