Hi, Gang. It's great to see all of you. What a crowd we have now! It's amazing. My last story talked about playing in puddles. That story reminded me of an old story of mine. This is a humor piece with a message - I hope. Have you thought you had a good plan, only to have it fail? Did you miss one small detail? I have - many times. Tonight's story is proof. If anyone is interested in greeting cards, Ginny belongs to a group of artists. They've teamed together to market their products.

The sun blinded me. The clouds were gone. The wet pavement steamed. It was time to go home. I was glad the rain stopped. I dreaded a twenty mile drive in a storm. On my drive home, I approached a section of highway that always flooded. I could see the water in the distance. An entire section of road was covered in what looked like eight inches of water. An approaching car hit the puddle. Water flew outward in waves, as it plowed through. In the distance, I saw another car approaching. Judging by our speed, I guessed we'd hit the puddle at the exact same time. Using my limited brain power, I decided to be proactive: I turned my wipers on. I knew a blinding wall of water was coming. We hit the puddle at the same time. We showered each other in a wave of brown, muddy, and icy water. My wipers did their job. I was momentarily pleased. I anticipated what was to come. My plan was almost perfect. I drove on. Water dripped onto my lap from my glasses and face. One question repeated in my mind, "Mike, why didn't you close your window?" Michael T.

Your puddle memories brought so many back to me. Although I'm almost 62 years old, I still make trenches in the mud to watch the water flow into another puddle. My dog loves it when I do this because then she has more time to sniff and since it rains quite a lot here in the green state of Washington, it's my favorite rainy day pastime! Thanks for the memories! Hows your back? Pat ---------- Unsubscribe: http://www.zinester.com/cgi/gsps.cgi?from=na_unsub&topic=86758&email=10069747&pswd=Pzcyh3ex7jxlBNU6zKB20A |
