Our little mini-vacation is over. Ended. Kaput.

We flew back to Ohio this evening. I suppose I have a few more observations about the last couple of days. So if you will oblige me, once again.

In the simplest of terms, I experienced Karma, first hand. We ate at Taco Boy yesterday. I ordered a side of the Danger Sauce. Those folks at Taco Boy even write a fair warning for you. “Danger. We call this Danger Sauce for a reason. ”

And so it was. I consumed large quantities of Danger Sauce on my Chicken Fajitas …. until the back of my scalp burned and I could no longer differentiate my neck from by left buttocks.

So, it is within the Karmic Experience, that I should be repaid for the act of ingesting the said sauce.  And repaid I was.  In full … this morning. Without going into the details….

And on to the next thing.

Here’s the thing. I like to fly. I know a lot of people give it a bum wrap. And truthfully, I thought it would be a total bust for us today… with the blizzard and all. But away we went. From Charleston, SC, to Atlanta, GA, to Dayton, OH. Without a hitch. Flying the Friendly Skies.

I’m enthralled with the “going fast” part of it…. the taking off and landing. I love to see the world from way above. Sometimes it looks like lunch meat party trays to me… or other times… like quilts. Depends on the place and the time.

And I have to admit it here. I enjoy the whole “fast food in the airport” ordeal. Albeit, it is not very fast these days. But the dining encounter is always sloppy, and fried, and good. I don’t eat too much fast food on a regular basis. So it is like a treat for me.

And finally, it is a little colder here now than when we departed. I left a few Diet Cokes in the car. When I opened the rear hatch… there was ice everywhere… INSIDE the car. Diet Coke cans decided to spontaneously combust. Or commit Hari-Kari in the form of frozen explosion.

I think these things are amazing and wonderful…. like….  the Danger Sauce and the exploding Diet Coke cans.  I guess it all falls right together… and reminds me that our human experience is filled with things unexpected.  And with each passing moment… when you think you have it figured out pretty well… … … it all goes back around again.
