highway hijinx

on my way home last night from work i was witness to some bizarre sight. and of course it probably wasn't intentional, but i imagined something beyond the surface.

all along the stretch of the 101 that i travel were vast quantities of toilet paper. rolls of it. streams of it. tatters of it. it was clogging the lanes and clinging to tires in embarrassing fashion.

and i thought, wouldn't it have been great if this were not just an accidental slip off a truck but the work of some mischievous prankster-artist. a little highway hijinx.

and this caused me to smile at the sillyness; erasing the annoyance of backed up traffic.

sometimes it's nice to have these disruptive moments. they bring a change of perspective. and you might even get something fun out of it.
