(The ramp from southbound I-95 west to the airport expressway (112) had been closed due to an accident, so he'd taken eastbound 112 and gotten off at 36th Street, where he got directions at a Denny's to get back up on 112 heading west to the airport. Essentially, he'd by then gotten lost (he admitted), but at that point also had to pee. (Too much iced tea.) He said he was cursing all the way but succeeded in picking up his passenger and delivering her back to her mom's in Aventura, but the traffic up there had been a complete mess and it took him an hour and a half to get through it and back (it being the shopping season). I advised him to henceforth think twice about volunteering to do that again (esp. his having only one day off a week), no matter the favor owed, and that the mom was just being cheap. The daughter could have taken a Super Shuttle home for under $30 or so and not put E. through that shit.)
Good movie, "The Haunting in Connecticut." (Why it had only one star, I can't figure, unless the arbiters of these types of movies didn't like the happy - but true - ending.) Now the next one, "Population 436." More typical ending - they escape the crazy, dangerous place at last, only to be hit by a Mack truck. Movie over.
