Drivin' in a Winter Wonderland
I drove through a blizzard on my way to work this morning.
(What? A blizzard in Nashville in September?)
It was crazy. I had my windshield wipers going on high and everything.
I can't find any sort of news clips in the paper, but it seems that a UPS truck or a packing supplies store or something containing great quantities of styrofoam exploded. Whatever it was, it had enough styrofoam to cause a blizzard for at least three-quarters of a mile around the Pancake Pantry. There were big chunks on the ground, but zillions of the little pellets swirling around in the warm September morning.
It was like I was trapped in some sort of inane urban snowglobe.
What's worse is that I had my windows down at the beginning of the onslaught. I think I inhaled a little piece because now I keep clearing my throat and feeling like I have a chunk of, well, styrofoam in my throat.
The view from my car (sort of, but not really at all):
