It's Not Working

Posted by Luminosity , in Commentary 11 January 2013 - - - - - - · 896 views

Wind

It's been windy.

I was feeling good.  I went to the health food store to get a avocado and cheese sandwich. I saw an expensive car parked in the disabled spot with no visible placard.  I had this gut feeling that I didn't have to do anything about it.  Nevertheless, I took my placard in one hand and opened my car door with the other.  A strong gust...
