In case you haven’t noticed, I tend to be a bit too serious most of the time. I want to take on the world and make a difference but Rome wasn’t built in a day. They had to take some time out for pleasure once in awhile. Maybe not the slaves but the Romans did I’m sure. I don’t want to be a slave to my ’causes’. I need to have fun too every once in awhile because like someone told me a few days ago, “All work and no play makes Cody a dull boy.” We can’t have that now can we?
I’m sure you have seen a cartoon that has a little angel on one shoulder and a little devil on the other. Usually in the cartoon, the little angel gets knocked off. Well I had one of those moments yesterday. I should be ashamed but I still laugh when I think of it.
See I was driving to my local McDonald’s where I love to get the double cheeseburgers. It had snowed about 8 inches last night so I was being really careful. Then I saw him up ahead. This guy had obviously been shoveling snow for quite a while because he had the whole front of his shop shoveled out. The front of his shop would hold about 6 cars pulled in straight and was just deep enough that the cars didn’t block the sidewalk. Get the picture?
I don’t know where that little angel went that usually sits on my shoulder but that darn little devil was working overtime. As the guy was shoveling the last few scoops of snow out into the side of the street, I just couldn’t resist sort of running a little through the snow he had shoveled out of his parking lot. I had no idea just how much snow would go back into his parking lot but when I looked in my side view mirror, all I saw was a wave of snow covering the man and then the whole parking lot.
I started to go back home a different way because I was afraid he had seen who had done this to him but figured if he came out cursing me, I would help him shovel his parking lot again but all I saw as I went back by was his snow shovel thrown down and he was nowhere to be found. Did I laugh, heck yeah I laughed my ass off. It was too funny.
