I volunteered to drive my daughter across the island (40 minutes each way) to her theater workshop. My wifebimmesiately accuses me of wanting to go to my favorite taco shop, which is a half block away.
As I am presently seated in said taco shop, I can confirm she was not wrong.

She already texted me to ask what I was doing. With a picture of a taco.
After 18 years, she knows lol.

Obviously!!
Now I’m employing my other deception, sitting in the car waiting, but in the passenger seat so nobody bothers me for my parking spot. They just assume I’m waiting for the person who’s driving.

Your car, by necessity, must have a sunroof.

Ulterior motives are the most popular motives, every giraffe knows this instinctively.

I could eat tacos everyday.
A while back, I was seeing a woman who lived over an hour away.
There's an awesome taco place close to where she lives.
We don't see each other anymore, but I still make the drive to get those tacos every now and then.
Mmmmmm.......Tacos!!!

Driving your daughter 40 miles to get tacos -- I knew you were the right man for this job.

Right now it's snowing in Western N.Y. I would just enjoy a ride across an island. As long as it has palm trees.

If your camel drove at an average of 60mph, it would travel approximately 40 miles in approximately 40 minutes.
You could sit in the passenger seat eating tacos.
Your daughter would probably have to make other arrangements.

^^ What he said. I just assumed you were really jonesing for a taco and had the pedal to the metal.
"It was minutes, not miles, but I hope the sentiment still stands!"
Yeah, it still stands.

You live 40 minutes from your favorite taco shop? Sucks to be you!  |

You live 40 minutes from your favorite taco shop? Sucks to be you! Truthfully, I could go 20 minutes in the other direction into New Jersey to my absolute favorite Mexican spot, but that was not where I was heading. The North Shore is more known for its restaurants, and that’s the other end. That said, it IS about 8 minutes from my office, so that works out. |

I haven't had a decent taco since I left Louisiana. I have not seen decent Mexican food outside Texas but never been to N.Y. so maybe it is good! |

I generally have tacos on "Taco Tuesday". Lots of good Mexican restaurants, shops and trucks around here!
