OMG, so, Amber, Nick, and I were going to go out to eat. And we are on our way, but we have to stop at this stop light to turn left. This car pulls up next to us, and the lady is rolling down her window. I was just like, that is kinda weird. So then she proceeds to say "Are you from Rhode Island??" (I haven't changed my plates yet.) So Amber and I were like "Yeah, we are." She said, "Me too, I used to live in East Greenwich." We proceeded to talk about RI a little bit and she was like, "Yeah, I went to URI." Then she asked us where we were from, and so we said Charlestown. She was just like "Oh, do you know any Dowdells?" And I was like "Yeah, Brian." Apparently, this was Brian Dowdell's aunt. So funny, that all the way across the country I meet someone (at a stop light no less) that is related to someone I knew in like high school. She also knew Ms. Toth from Chariho. I freaking love California... with still having RI plates.
