The Minimal Manual

The daily detritus of my life, spilt out onto a keyboard and left to ponder like a Rorschach test.

Washington, DC

Damnit!!! That's really the only word to describe this morning. Rashmi and I were out of town last night and didn't get back to her apartment and my car until this morning. As we got closer to her place from the metro station, I started to notice a few strange things. The street was blocked off, and then there was the police tape across the road, and finally there was the tree laying in the middle of the road. That's when it dawned on me: my car is laying underneath that tree . . . Damnit!!! As you can see from the pictures, a strong wind uprooted a tree and laid on top of my car, crushing the windshield and denting the hood. Good times.
