something amazing
the most amazing thing happened to me on the way home from campus today: i found some crackers in the back of my pickup! i mean the type of crackers you eat, not white people.
this is amazing not because there weren't supposed to be crackers there but because i actually remembered that (1) in fort collins on saturday i bought some crackers, (2) i realized in two days that i didn't know where the crackers were, and (3) i thought to look for them in the truck.
i actually remembered something. that's the amazing thing.
usually this scenario would've played out like this: unpack the groceries from fort collins. drive around for three weeks. randomly open the tailgate and discover some crackers, smashed to bits from rolling around in the back of the truck. say to myself: "oh! guess i forgot that i bought crackers in fort collins! ha! ha ha!" throw crackers away. or, if they're not too mushed, save them for stew. maybe even use them as impetus to make some stew.
amazing.
