750 Words: The Michael 'n' Bonnie edition
Jun. 19th, 2010 08:36 amWell, you know, because I've already broken all my other toys in the Indestructible verse, haven't I?
( Yes, I do write out of order. Apologies to those of you reading this and feeling like ping pong balls. )
I swear, I do know where the shift key is, honest.
My morning drive was...well, fun except for the first idiot of the day. Said idiot came down a side street so fast that he was 3/4 of the way across the (two lane) road I was on before he managed to stop for the stop sign. Instead of just continuing across and doing a U turn on the other side of the street, he edged sloooowly the rest of the way across, then when I passed I saw him back all the way back to the stop sign, stop, and then pull out. LOL, I don't think that you really get a do over on that, doofus.
Up at the intersection I saw a car coming, and thought, "Huh, that looks like a cop car, but it's way too beat up (and no light bar)." So I turn, and he turns soon enough after that in my rearview I can see this poor beat to hell car has a CHP shield on the side. It was heading out to Death Valley; all I can think is maybe there's some filming going on out there or something. Or someone really did steal 'n' trash a CHP car.
I also saw a coyote trot across the road and lope into the fields. Pretty thing.
On the highway, there was a Pontiac SUV (I don't know what Pontiac named their SUVs). I have seen this same one twice now; it must work or live out at the north end. Whenever I see it, I'm reminded of the runabouts from DS9.
By Walmart, there was a little red Corvette on my tail. ^__^
It was a good car morning. :D
Also, my iPod played the Hawaii Five-0 theme, then the Knight Rider theme, then the Hawaii Five-0 theme again, then Sound of Madness. I think Dulcea is telling me to send my poor characters on vacation before they go crazy, LOL.
