What year?

2002, IIRC...

You should hear the radio chatter light up when someone does that. The
flagmen "really" get nervous, and looking for a place to run! g

There wasn't any other planes on the taxiway, nor anyone standing on
it... That's why I thought that it could have been one of the runways...
I had known that one of the taxiways had been converted into a runway,
but I didn't remember which one... They had changed to using 18/36 at
the last minute while I was along the path from Ripon... I couldn't
remember whether the actual taxiway was on the east or the west, but I
figured that if I landed on the middle strip of asphalt, I had a chance
of actually being on 18L in case the taxiway was on the east whereas if
I chose the furtherest west strip of asphalt, either I would be on a
taxiway or on the runway and since there wasn't any aircraft on that
strip of asphalt, it was safer to venture there than possibly venturing
onto what might be the wrong runway... If I had seen an aircraft taxiing
or one of the ground vehicles or something, I was prepared to either
abort the landing or shift to the left for the next strip of asphalt...
Turns out that "something" was the controller telling me that that was
the taxiway... Oh well, he at least congratulated me on my side slip to
the right runway...
