On the way to work in the new car I heard a rock ping somewhere off the metal. Not good. Then I had one of the worst drives home I have ever had. I was following behind a white van on one of the city streets (two lanes each side of the road). He kept braking and slowing down, braking and slowing down. So I pulled out to pass him just as I did, he decided to PULL A U-TURN across four lanes of traffic. Good news is the brakes work and so does the horn. Bad news is I left about an inch of rubber on Edinburgh Road. Another foot and I would have smashed up the car big time. Number of expletives that flew out of my mouth? Too many to count. The air was blue.
Still swearing, I ended up here:
for a Walmart milk run. I saw a woman with really hideous plaid leggings on and was reminded of my new obsession. If you like people watching, check this out - it's hilarious. If you become a fan on Facebook you'll see in your newsfeed every time they post and they post several times a day. You won't believe the people and the outfits they wear. This site makes me want to quit my day job and just hang out in Walmart people watching.
After that, I headed for home and the fun continued. Number of racoons that almost bit it running out from the ditch? One. Number of loose manhole covers I drove over? One. What a crappy drive. It's probably good that I don't plan to leave town the next two days. Luck is definitely not on my side. Thanks for looking!
