100 trips! And a 5-star comment!

Went out for my usual evening tonight, waiting on a milestone - my 100th trip! I was at 99, so my first trip of the night was the ol' century. Woohoo! My very first trip was June 6th, so it took a bit over a month to hit 100 trips. Not too bad for doing it very part time.

Tonight was three different pool groupings, each with two sets of riders. Not a lot of money, $26.26 for a bit under two hours online.

Also exciting, I got my first 5-star comment! I've been pretty consistently managing the 5-star ratings - I'm currently at a 4.94 overall rating on 105 trips - 70 of which were rated, and 66 of those were 5-star. I haven't gotten a sub-5-star rating in a couple of weeks now. Tonight, though, I actually got a comment attached to a 5-star rating, which was a first! It was super exciting, too: "Thanks, Tim!" :) But it shows someone cared enough / was happy enough to type, rather than just hitting the stars. So thanks, rider!

Oh, and with all of that, my first pair of riders were quite talkative. We talked about a wide range of subjects, from Pokémon Go, to the political situation in Venezuela, to the state of the US justice system, in particular as it relates to underprivileged youth, to self-driving cars. Very interesting and totally the reason I started doing this!
