Tempting Fate

My list for the day did not look like this:

ToDo: Tempt Fate

But I went ahead and tempted away.  Because I'm reckless like that.  I have to be on edge, just to feel alive.  

That's a lie.  

I did it because... because I have the attention span of a goldfish.  And even though I got a text when I walked out of the building that said "Sever Thunderstorm warning for the next 2 hours.  Capable of producing hail", when I got to my Jeep, I went ahead and took the lid off of it (I like "lid" better than "top", because "I took my top off" just sounds ... incorrect.).  Seriously, about 1.8 minutes had elapsed [can I get a "woot woot!" for the supremo parking spot??!].

As I drove, I noticed that there were dark clouds in the distance.  Like, really dark clouds.  

Beautiful on the left (where I was at the time the decision was made).
Dark and threatening on the right (the direction I had to drive towards.  

Not a Tutorial

I love my Jeep.  I do.  I've said this before, it isn't the vehicle that I would have picked; Handsome picked it for me.  And I'm so glad he did.  It's great in the winter, what with the four-wheel-drive (4WD) and all that.  Summer, however, is when it really shines.  

This is the life, people.  When I see the stickers that say, "It's a Jeep Thing" well, I still don't quite understand that.  But I know why they wanted to put it on there.  Because, on any given day, whenever they want to, they too can drive around with this here view.  It's fabulous.  Give me a call, we'll go for a ride & I'll make a believer out of you.

A Public Service Announcement

Dear Fellow Drivers,

Everyone has bad days.  Eventually, everyone will most likely break down in the middle of the road at some point in their lives.  But when you do, please do all of your other fellow drivers a favor: MOVE OFF THE ROAD.  I understand that some of you are not experienced enough in the ways of automotives to understand how this is done, and so I will explain it, and then you can plead ignorance no longer.
