On My Last 1-Up

Was heading out to my car to get to work this morning. Noticed that the sky was sending down that pre-snow Stuff—you know, that kind of sleety-snowy-haily-rainy-slushy half-frozen crud that doesn’t fall gently like snowflakes but rather augurs into the ground like a kamikaze. Climbed into my car, set the iPatch to stun random, and vaguely thought, “Hope that becomes REAL snow soon.”
Then I pulled out of the driveway, and two things happened at roughly the same moment:
1. The car skidded at a 45-degree angle across the street, and
2. The iPatch chose this to be the first song in its queue.
I parked again, then called in to work and told them the mountain had become a slidey death chute. You just can’t ignore a sign like that.
