I was gonna write about music this morning, but I’m listening to something I’ve already written about and don’t feel like interrupting it, so now I’ve got to find words and all that stuff.
So on the way to work on this fine morning of mornings, I saw a thing that happened. What happened was there was this car and it had a flat tyre and it was driving along, or rather the person driving it was driving along, but you know. Anyway…
So this person was driving along with a flat tyre, and I think they were looking for a spot where they could pull over safely and within the confines of the law, or something. There was someone who went to try and overtake them which, I guess fair enough. Anyway, they couldn’t.
The person with the flat tyre was in the right lane and the person trying to overtake was in the left. The person in the left lane had to slow right down and get behind the flat tyre driver due to the amount of cars parked in the left lane making it unsafe to overtake. Flat tyre person was driving under the speed limit for obvious reasons and the flat tyre was making that weird flapping slapping sound flat tyres make when driving, and I started laughing.
It’s not a funny situation; having a flat tyre is annoying and can be a lot of work, but the whole thing seemed funny. Seeing this person try to overtake and being unable to whilst the tyre was making its noise was just funny to me.
I think I’ve made my point.
So what do I say now? I still have a number of words to write and, to be honest, I thought writing about this would fill up the whole space but I was wrong about that. I could ruminate on how humour does and does not work, and how we develop and shape what we do and do not appreciate, but I don’t know. I don’t feel I’m functional enough to talk about that kind of thing right now. I think I’ve spent too much time crapping on and not enough time exploring the whys of what it is that I crap on about, but I had a laugh this morning and that was nice, in a sense.
Not for the driver with the flat tyre, of course.
Yesterday there was this person driving along in the afternoon and they had only their fog lights on, and it wasn’t foggy, and that was odd. I’m used to people driving with their high beams on, and I’m also used to people driving with lights that are, essentially, overkill on standard settings, but I can;’t remember the last time I saw someone driving with just their fog lights on.
I wonder what I’ll see today. I know I’ll see a lot of documents, and I’ll probably see other things. Maybe some more stuff related to driving. Who knows?
