When the only Uber is called Carl…

http://When there's no Uber

When you live in a city, being able to get an UBER is one of those things you take for granted. When you’re in the suburbs, you accept that it’s a bit more complicated… fewer drivers mean you may have to wait quite a bit longer and so on, but it’s still there. But as we just found out this weekend, when you hit the real rural communities, getting around late at night without pre-made arrangements can be downright tricky. As it was later explained to me — after my son was forced instead to use what he called “the shoelace express” and walked home alone several miles, in the dark, in the rain, along a dirt road using his iPhone as a flashlight, praying that the 5% left of his battery would hold up and that the bear we’d heard about was just a story to scare out-of-towners, trying to hitch a ride but failing, in dress shoes no less — “oh, yeah, we’ve got an Uber… but around here, it’s called Carl…”  (see, Mara and Eddie, I told you I’d use it lol!!!)
