Instant Karma

About 10 days ago, on a Saturday, I got up early to take the car in to get new brakes and rotors. As I turned 'round the corner onto Oakland and drove to the other end of the block I noticed police cars, a big crowd, a fallen tree and some smashed up cars. One of the biggest trees on the block had been felled by a storm the previous night. Oddly enough I was out with some friends until 230 and didn't even realise there was a storm coming! A couple of days later this story was on the front page of the Strib.

Naturally I parked the car and gawked in amazement with the rest of the neighborhood at three smashed up cars in a row from one side of the street to the other. And forwhatever reason the staff writer of that article had left a message on our voicemail over the weekend asking for our account - we live on the other side of the block!

While it really sucks for the true owner of the car, it is still cool to see karma dished out straight away!
