When I moved back to Brooklyn for a few months after having moved to San Diego, I parked my car in Fort Hamilton (I was a military dependent) and left it there until I drove back to San Diego.

I didn’t have a driver’s license until I was 26, and I was so used to taking public transportation and walking in the city that I just went right back to that.

Someone might not get killed by getting hit by a car at low speed, but no one wants to get hit by a car, even if it’s going slowly. That shit would hurt.

Waaay back in 1985, I left my wallet at a concession stand on the Coney Island boardwalk. About six months later, I got a bigish envelope in the mail with the contents of my wallet wrapped in a rubber band, minus my cash.

I had no driver’s license or credit cards at the time, and I can’t remember what was in there that had my address on it.

It’s one of the weirdest things that’s happened to me.
