- The Bulb staggers in, accepting an IBC redcap handed to him by someone as he
- steps through the door...
-
- "I've had an ... interesting day today. I shan't go into too much of it,
- but one part bears mentioning. I was at work, standing at the front counter,
- doing my normal business, when I heard a loud but muted *THUMP!* from outside
- in the street. We're at a corner, so we have lots of front windows and
- hear lots of street sounds. Well, my first thought is 'Oh no, another jerk
- got in a wreck,' and didn't think twice about it. At least until I saw the
- extreme corner get darker and people started, um, running away, and a truck
- came to rest inside the front window, rather heavily against a solid iron
- pole."
-
- The Bulb takes a LONG pull from his IBC, then continues.
-
- "After that, we had our general pandemonium - people calling 911, running
- to check the condition of the two drivers and any passengers, looking at
- the damage to any of the objects in the crash, or trying to ignore it. I
- was in the last group, mainly - I wanted to just go on, and block it out. You
- might say that shook me just a little bit. I don't like things like that
- going on around me - funny thing, eh? I was in a state of mild shock the rest
- of the day, and STILL haven't fully recovered."
-
- The Bulb finishes off his drink, and moves to the chalkline.
-
- "To automobiles - Pedestrians, Bicyclists, and Booksellers Beware!"
-
- He then walks over, and gingerly places the bottle in the fireplace.
- "I thought there was enough breaking glass for me in one day..."
-
- Thank you.
- Loving ALL - I made it, to tell you all!
