Good gracious. Oh my. Yesterday I posted about the truck with tree, and that very evening on my way home from work, I discovered that the truck was gone.
The possibilities, as I see it, are: 1) that the owner of the truck reads this blog and was motivated by my post to move tree, and 2) that I have godlike powers and the universe seeks to put right what I complain about here. In the case of (1), I would like to say: Hello! Please do not be alarmed. I meant no harm. Believe me, I know about some procrastinating. In the case of (2), allow me to note: I DO NOT HAVE TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS. Thank you.
I will be sure to keep an eye out for the truck; in the unlikely event that the truck returns with tree, I'll continue keeping count.
Posted by hilatron at March 18, 2003 10:53 PMConsider this. The tree, having spent so long in the back of the truck, neglected in the figid New England weather, has finally thawed now that it's warmed up a bit. Able to move it's brances once again, it struggled out of the truck bed and into the cab. Hotwiring the truck, the tree's gone for a joy ride. Rather than stay frozen in the back of the truck any further, it's parked itself in the parking lot of a 24 hour grocery store, where it's running the heat as long as the truck's still got enough gas to keep the engine and heating system going.
What do you mean you don't think that could happen?!
