Last night I sat in traffic for several hours while people stared at the darkening skies like a duck in thunder. Finally, tired of waiting for everyone to get their shit together, I got off the expressway and headed the rest of the way home on surface streets.<\/p>\n
The rain hadn’t started yet but it was hella windy, so there was debris flying everywhere. The dry weather and a lot of farms having recently harvested and disced fields there was some kind of dust. I came up on a bicyclist I could barely see- he was pedalling furiously back from the liquor store to his trailer with a 24 pack balanced on the handlebars, and the wind was causing him to change lanes at random- and the blowing dust must have been incredibly painful<\/p>\n
So I fired up the phone, put it on repeat, and played “I believe in a thing called love” all the way home. Justin Hawkin’s squealing voice and guitar made it all the more surreal and enjoyable.
