Driving through the bank and coming face-to-face with
something suspiciously resembling a sinkhole felt like a set-up. I have an unholy fear of sinkholes. When one appeared last year a few blocks from
where I live, my husband had to spend weeks coaxing me out of the house with
promises of clearance shoes and cake. So
when I spied this bad-boy, I thought for sure a camera crew was nearby ready to
yell “PUNKED!”
I mean, really? The
only thing notifying distracted drivers that a date with Middle Earth awaits was
a solitary orange cone.
Perhaps they figure those caught in the debris won’t have
any tales to tell?
Anyway, I carefully directed my minivan around the Great Pit
of Carkoon and headed home.
Where I will be staying for the entire summer.
A date with Middle Earth. You are a literary genius. Too bad you're going to die in a sinkhole...
ReplyDeleteI KNOW. So tragic. Remember how I loved you, Tracey. ;)
DeleteDo not risk death for clearance shoes.
ReplyDeleteDo not risk death for clearance shoes.
I repeat, do not risk death for clearance shoes.
Says you. ;)
DeleteWell, I'm just so relieved to see that it's been repaired.
DeleteWe can't have you taking risks like that.
We like you. We really like you.
Thanks, Sally! :)
DeleteWhat about the houses that fell in the sinkhole and all their owners fell in with their houses? I think that happened last year to at least a million people. You might as well go out. You're not safe at home, either.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Thanks, Sunshine. ;) On that note, I'm pouring a morning vodka.
DeleteExcellent idea. Add a shot of orange juice to keep it healthy.
DeleteThe least they could have done was put a box of candy bars next to that cone...to ease the pain! Perhaps a note to look under the cone for a bottle of Rumchata to really make your anguish go away!
ReplyDeleteThat would only happen if women planned sinkholes!
DeleteMaybe its just the Earth's belly button?
ReplyDeleteYou live that close to the Earth's belly button!
YOU COULD SELL TICKETS!
Make a profit!
OMG YOU WILL BE RICH!!!!
