The Misadventures of.....the Travelling Paper
So it seems I am destined in my life to witness strange phenomenons. Although this one does not top the travelling plate, it does deserve a spot in the "misadventures of......" book. So today my sister and I are driving along and we come to the last major intersection before a stretch of freeway. As we approach, we see blue everywhere. My sister asks "What's all the blue stuff?". I could only see it in the snow and so I assumed that maybe it was blue food coloring that the city was using to mark sections of the boulevard that needed something done to them....don't ask me what.....but something. These things just enter my mind.....but do you know what I mean? You know, the stuff that they use to dye snow sculptures, if any of you have ever seen them. Anyways.....as we got nearer to the intersection we saw that it was a bunch of papers. We figured they were advertisements of some sort and my sister said "someone must have done that on purpose" Although that would have been a semi-smart idea, that was not the case. As we pulled to a stop we saw that a full package of blue 81/2 x 11 paper had been dropped in one of the lanes and it was all blank. It was one of those standard size packages that you would get from Weyerhauser or something. It was, like the plate, completely random and it was the only package around. The light turned green as we laughed about the paper blowing around. We were headed towards the university and said that it would likely eventually end up there....and sure enough....when we got to the first entrance onto the university, one lone piece of paper was floating through the intersection.....brave little piece of paper it was.......and it was not lying flat on the ground....no, no, it was floundering, just like the brave paper plate. I'm telling you, it is the month of the paper.....they are rising up and we could very soon have a rebellion on our hands.....be careful......be very careful.....
