my vices
are down to a bare minimum but i do still enjoy an occasional pack of kreteks. the 20 minute drive to stewart lumber to get fir flooring for a job seemed like the right time for a smoke, so at a red light i pushed in the dashboard lighter and was surprised it clicked in because usually i have to hold it down while it heats up, so i was feeling pretty good about life as i waited for it to get hot but then the light turned green and i had to get going before it was done. then it finished with a pop, but instead of poking up just a little bit, it shot out like a champagne cork, ricocheted off my leg and onto the floorboard. i groped below with one hand and and quickly knew i found it as my fingertips sizzled on contact with the red hot element. got it back in the socket then waited for the pain to arise but it never did. rather, i just marveled at my new identity. |
