i had a dream last night.  i was driving and it was dark and raining.  i was speeding along.  i was just crossing main street going uphill and was already in the intersection when i realized that the light was out.  i hadn't followed four way stop procedure.  "oh no!" i thought, "screeeeeeeeeeech!" i heard on my right.  i swerved my car sharply to the left and i twisted my body around and waited for impact.  it came with a thump on my back, (who knows, a cat? did they know to punctuate my dream with a good back thumping?) and i turned and felt the air bag that had exploded behind me.  "oh thank goodness for the air bag!" i was so relieved.  when i got out of the car i didn't notice what damage was done.  i was surprised to hear the sirens already there and to see the flashing lights.  and i was surprised to see that there were many cars that were a part of the accident.

analyze.

today at the sharing farm i was rooting about in a very thick and robust cherry tomato plant.  there deep in the depth of the heart of the plant, i found an ugly slug gorging on the lushness.  i tried to make 'oven  mitts' out of grass blades and pull him out but he shriveled down deeper into the heart.  i loathed it.  a slug on the ground can be cute but a slug in a tomato plant is ugly.
