So it was dead last night around two but there was this big surge 4 minutes away and, well, I chased it. Started dropping as I got closer, 6.75, 6.25, 5 by the time I tagged it.
It was an elementary school? So I'm about to go back where I came from and this 9$ surge on a mountain another 7 miles out pops up and wth? I know there are maybe 3 houses up there? So I go offline and haul ass and it keeps going up until it's 15 dollars and I get right under that number and tag it. Crickets of course, but I head back to civilization secure in the knowledge that the next trip will be at least 18 bucks for me.
45 minutes later I turn on Lyft and get one immediately, then of course Uber pings. So I leave Lyft to whine and do the Uber first, Lyft pax is passed out in the yard by the time I get there so I wait and collect.
That surge is still on the mountain so off I go. This time I tag 13 bucks and sprint back to take a baker to work. Back to the mountain. Tag 11 and actually get one 4 minutes away to the airport. Loving it! Surge is still there! Tag it again! Lady left her lights on, car won't start, needs methadone, I have cables and I don't mind jumping her cause I can get back to the Magic Mountain that much faster and she's cute and hugs me and I am the bestest Uber driver ever!
I'm really tired but it's still there so I chew the old school sudafed instead of swallowing it. It's bitter but I don't care. Other drivers are turning down all the wrong roads by now and looking befuddled, a couple are in the right place, rending their clothes and losing their religion, sinners in the hands of an angry god. I do a bootlegger and spray them with gravel, tag 13 again and bye!
7 hours this lasted. There is a cell tower not too far from both the school and the mountain, but that's all I know. I will chase bizarre surges now.
