Made it to Oregon

My legal problems became more then I could deal with. I was facing jail time in the future and this prospect was not something I thought I could handle. I made a decision to leave Washington. I packed everything into my car, said my goodbyes and was off to Oregon, where I had friends that lived in and around Eugene. This was a risky drive, because if I was stopped and my license run, which was no longer valid, it would have been discovered that I was leaving the state when I was not supposed to be going anywhere. Luckily I was not stopped (of course I maintained the speed limit), but just before I crossed the border between Oregon and Washington I lost a hubcap going over the line. This was totally weird and of course, there was no way I was going back to get it. The way this occurred blew my mind, because here I was crossing over the boarder and having made my safe escape from Washington, but at the very time, I felt safe, having left the state, here pops up a situation to cause me to think about turning around to retrieve my hubcap, after all, it was a Mercedes hubcap! I easily convinced myself this would be a bad idea and just kept on trucking and loving that I had got out of Washington. I then was off to a friend’s house, who I had not seen for sometime and we partied all night and I felt very relieved.
