News and notes from the U.S. Open

Oh the Whitestone

August
30

Ever had a nightmare that your car breaks down at the top of the Whitestone? Well, I got to live the dream. The good thing was that my ‘99 Beetle made it to the tennis center, with a dislodged splashguard acting like a plow in front of my car.

Great fun.

The bad news is that I wasn’t making it back to 287 that way. So I called AAA and they sent a tow truck. Let’s just say that you have to be real clear about exactly where you are, and security is so tight that it’s hard for them to get through. But the local tow trucks know the place and the guy who came for my car was terrific.

So be forewarned, and get a tuneup.
