Is It A Sign?

So, today.

I had to drive The Man to work, and Beta to school, since Alpha, Cappa AND Delta were all home sick with the flu. And then I had to go to my local Walmart, since we were on our last half roll of toilet paper. Then to the grocery store. And then home again, home again, jiggedy jig.

Now here's the somewhat odd part: every single person I drove behind was driving exceptionally S L O W. I mean, ssslllooowww. As in, ten to twenty miles under the speed limit slow, even on the surface streets.

Well. I sometimes think I see "signs" and "omens" in the ordinary and mundane. I don't always do this, or think this way, but sometimes, I do. And I couldn't help but wonder, today, if that was a sign of something.

But what? What would me getting behind every single slow driver in my corner of the world mean? What kind of 'sign' would that be? What would it portend? Is it a warning? A reminder to slow down when I drive? Or does it mean that I should slow down in life, consider things with careful thought?

Or is this just me, thinking too much?



Or maybe it was just Murphy's Law. I wasn't in a hurry, exactly, this morning, but slow drivers like that really annoy me. And today was a less-than-stellar day. I would go so far as to call it a craptastic day. So maybe, it wasn't a "sign", but rather just one more thing to go somewhat wrong.

Alright... and that's it, for now.
