Woman Killed by Flying Random Junk...details at 6 and 11

Today was a very bizarre day, and I'm not sure whether to be scared or amused by the fact that it isn't over yet.

Good thing I drive a hybrid; if I was on real time gasoline usage I would have run out in the middle of nowhere. I was driving a route I have driven at least a hundred times and got lost because I was so distracted that I made a wrong turn. Or, rather, turned where I should have gone straight. It took me a few minutes to realize that things didn't look familiar anymore and when I figured it out, I thought it might be a good idea to keep my mind on the road. Despite having a very solid idea of where I was, I managed to do it again, getting myself lost even more. Ditz.

Then I went out to MCC to visit one of my friends, and on the way home I saw a decal on a car that said "silver fox." First thought was that it was kind of stupid, then thought hey, what a great goal to have for my 40's. Spend them working on being a silver fox by the time I'm in my 50's. so I'm daydreaming about being a 50-something with a toned ass and big perky boobs and realized I was stuck behind a person with their trunk open. Not unable to close due to a big load, but flapping in the very windy air, threatening to dislodge the shit in it. I gave them lots of space, thinking they would maybe pull over to close it after they passed the traffic lights . Apparently the owner of the vehicle has a yen for living a wild and dangerous life since they didn't. Someone should probably tell them that risk-taking only counts as adventerous when you are risking yourself and not other motorists. All I could see was the headline: "Woman, 39, killed by Random Flying Junk" and under it:"Possibility of bad karma due to excessive materialistic thought. Authorities are investigating".
