 It is amazing to me how many ride requests were coming in.  9 rides in 3 hours tonight and then when I went to transfer the money into my bank account, I noticed that somehow I had achieved a bonus of $110.  Nice little surprise.

Had a trivial nothingness first time occurrence of having to stop and wait for a train while on an Uber ride.

Very animated conversation with a self-proclaimed 40-year-old single working mom.  We laughed a lot about how much pain is involved on the morning after a night of hard partying.

All of the rides were in the Round Rock area with the last one being the first XL group of riders in a long time, that I dropped off on the east side of downtown Austin.  From there I turned off the app and headed home.

 Started at about 7:00pm and the requests were coming even before I had finished the previous ride.  It has been many months since I drove, and I was surprised that I ended up with 14 rides.

Those 14 rides included one young Latin lady, probably in her mid 20s that couldn't have weighed 75 pounds.  She had some nice smelling perfume, and it was very strong.  I couldn't imagine how she could have put on that much perfume for it to be so strong as she didn't have enough surface area to apply that much perfume to.  The first thing she asked me was if I spoke Spanish.  As always, my answer in Spanish was, "when it is convenient for me".  She laughed and requested that we communicate in Spanish.

One rider claimed to have a medical condition that caused him to talk like he was drunk and stumble around like he was drunk.  I suppose it is a possibility and I am sure the name of his condition is "Drunkashell"
