My friend got a Taylor Dunn Cart in exchange for painting another Taylor Dunn Cart. Last night we
took it for a joyride along the sidewalks of the Embarcadero, through Pier 39's back road, around Fisherman's Wharf and the pier where the crab boats come in. I had never seen this pier before. They actually do a lot of crabbing judging by all of the round nets that were neatly stacked in tall cylinders along the pier.
We almost ran over a rat that ran in front of the cart. It looked like it had spiked its hair with gel.
We ended up at the crab stands in front of Aliotos, parked the cart and got crab cocktails. They weren't great.
We headed back to my friend's shop at pier 33. He was driving on the street facing oncoming cars. As a car approached us he quickly grabbed the Brodie knob (a knob attached on the steering wheel to enable the driver to do one handed turns easily) and made a sharp left up a handicap accessible
sidewalk. I flew partially out of the cart but luckily I was holding on to a rope handle that was
attached to the dashboard. "Duuuuuude!" I yelled. I was terrified for a brief moment.
"Can you buy adrenaline?" my friend asked me.
"No"
"There you go" he said.
