Today on the way to work I was behind a big Starship delivery truck, Starship being an adult novelty and video store. It wasn't a plain box truck either. It was bright, attention-grabbing purple with a big, attention-grabbing picture of a woman saying (via captioning, of course) "Follow me to Starship for..." I remember thinking, "Eventually, that truck is going to cause an accident because guys are staring at it instead of at the road." That is an accident scene I would love to drive past, assuming nobody is hurt. Imagine the truck overturned with its cargo strewn across the interstate. I think passers-by would go beyond rubbernecking. It would be interesting to see what mix of people would leave their cars to go scavenging.

-----------abrupt transition------------------

At some point tomorrow evening I'm going off the grid for a little over a week. I will be in Arkansas until Memorial Day and I'm really looking forward to it. I won't have access to a computer and cellular connectivity will likely be sporadic. Nobody even think about trying to reach me. If I need you I will contact you. I'm such a dork. I don't even know who I'm talking to. I'm going to go play with my new free Xbox 360.

before the abrupt transition, the story reminded me of something i saw on the way to New Mexico. the mobile lingerie show complete with a Winnebago painted with scantly clad women all over the sides. i didn't wintess any crashes that were related to this, but i wonder....
