On the Moon Fest night after dinner at the parents and some lantern and glow stick model making and throwing, Alec and I went to cousin W’s for a visit. It wasn’t until 0115 hrs before we took a 5 minute taxi ride home.
Just 30 seconds after we got on the taxi cap, I thought I heard some snoring sound. Alec was wide awake and it was certainly no where near my usual bedtime, and I had much less than a puddle in the middle of the Sahara’s amount of drinks.
The traffic light went green and we were moving as normal so I didn’t think more of it. When we came to the second red light, there was that snoring like sound again! However, as soon as the light turned green, we were on our way again. This time 1/3 of the taxi cap was over on the other lane! The snoring sound came back intermittently while we were going straight at about 70Kph.
I looked at the mirror and saw the cap driver’s eyes were closed! So I said, “Hey hey hey, you’re driving now, don’t go to sleep!”. The cap driver opened his eyes, turned his head and shoulders over 90 degrees toward me and asked “What?”. I repeated my message and he smiled and said, “Oh no, don’t worry, we’ve been driving for several decades, we wouldn’t go to sleep on a drive, haha.”. I said to him, “You just watch the road!”. He only turned his shoulders back after he had finished what he had to say, all while 1/3 the taxi cap was on the other lane but nonetheless, surprisingly, we were still going straight!
It was a good thing we were just 2 more minutes away from home. When we got off the taxi cap, Alec said we should strip his driver’s license. No shit! For a night-shifter 0115 hrs is like 1030 hrs to us.
No news on any taxi cap weird off any cliff and dropped into an abyss that morning though.
