What if...

is it ever normal to be driving down the road and see the camper shell from the truck in front of you fly off?
what would you do?
Yikes! one minute it's the same old drive you always take home and the next it's camper shell dodge ball.
Well, what if you were the passenger in that truck?
you're riding along, chatting with your bud and the truck is bouncing over the road and after the truck stops bouncing the camper shell continues. before you know it your swerving to the side of the road and what was once a cover for the bed of the truck is now sailing across the road in front of oncoming traffic.
watch out folks! here comes a huge bump!
y'all retrieve the missing portion of the vehicle and return it to its proper place on the truck. onward with a groovy and exciting adventure to tell at parties but wait, the truck won't start. the battery? out of gas? what could it be? under the hood y'all go to assess the culprit and the camper wasn't the only thing that was bounced out of whack. the battery no longer has it's stabilizing band securing the unit. it's now M.I.A. the connection of the battery to the engine is now almost non-existent. the battery dies. it's now 10pm+ on a Tuesday night and who do you know that could come to the rescue? phone calls are exchanged but wait, the girl who has now finished closing the restaurant of which your truck has recently found itself stranded in its parking lot, is heading to her car. she agrees to jump start the truck and you're on your way home.
good Samaritan's rock!

know thyself

to know ones self is an endless pursuit
to be living is to continuously change by growth and refinement
other than experience i find that i learn most effectively about myself through character and personality study
at the moment I'm reading a book of just that called, Please understand me II, temperament, character, intelligence, by David Keirsey.
it's been fascinating to say the least.
it never ceases to amaze me how true these things tend to be
I'm a rational mastermind INTJ
what are you?
