I was somewhere around The Research Park on the edge of West Lafayette when the caffeine began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit light-headed; maybe I shouldn't drive..." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around me and my ears were full of what sounded like huge bongo drums, all pounding in and around the car, which was going about a forty miles an hour with the top down to work. And a voice was screaming: "Holy Jesus! My heart is going to pound its way out of my chest!"
