Crazy, long trip and possible bath salts users

Long trip

     Day before yesterday my eldest daughter had a fit because she wanted to pick up her best friend and didn't have the money nor did she want to make the drive alone.  She had fifty dollars, which was almost enough to pay for the gas up there, but she spent it ghost hunting.  I know, I know, what the Hell, right.  Who does that, but anyway, she flipped out and in the end this push-over of a mom decided to shut her up and spare my furniture from future beatings by taking her up to Loveland to pick up her friend. 

It took four hours to get there and once on the road, prior to leaving, Loveland, a man without shoes on stood at the crosswalk with his arms in the air like he was imitating a duck.  He stood there for a while swaying back and forth, then skip-waddled across the street in front of me.  

     My daughter's friend said, "roll down the window, so I can tell him he's a freak." 

     "You don't know if he's on bath salts or something," I say.  "He may run over and start eating your limbs." I proceed in locking doors and making certain all windows are completely up.

     So, we're off again, heading towards Canon City.  I look down as we enter Colorado Springs and notice that the gas took a plummet.  I suppose something is wrong with my daughter's gas gauge.  Anyway, I pull in to a gas station and lock all the doors, so I can go inside to prepay.  A man at the pump next to me started growling, then began to bark loudly like a pissed off and rabid dog.  I glance quickly around me, but both my daughter and her friend had high-tailed it into the gas station, leaving me alone with the barking loon who may or may not eat my face off.  I quickly get into the gas station and pay for the gas.  I stand there at the door waiting until the barker's tail lights fade in the distance. 

     By the time, I made it into Canon City it was almost 2am.  I'm almost ready to slip into a coma and the girls are falling asleep after hours of texting.  I'm just hoping they weren't texting one another because...wow, that would be strange since they were in the same car together, but I have seen it before.  Tonight, as I sit here writing this, I am mentally preparing for the long trip back.  I do have to take her friend home, you know.  I did entertain the thought of purchasing a greyhound ticket, but it would cost more than my budget allows.  I'll let you know if any more crazies bark at me or try to rip my face off.  Wish me luck, guys.
