I was behind a Ford Focus today on the way back from school. As I got closer to said vehicle, I realized that the owner had not one, not two, but FOUR of those ribbon magnets on the back of his/her car. Immediately, my mind started wondering many stupid things: would those magnets hold together a rusting car? Could those magnets ever have enough collective force to, say, demagnetize a credit card in the vehicle? Could magnets of that ilk lessen my need for a really good auto detailing this Spring?
My mind reeled, which was not good. Don't get me wrong...I am all for mental stimulation. Analyzing things to the Nth degree is my forte. BUT, I was driving my Elantra down the highway in 30 mph wind that was causing white caps on mud puddles. My car was being pushed around like a little nerd at recess. My mind needed to be on the road. Instead, I was transfixed by car magnets.
Although this message will likely give off this vibe, I am not vain, nor am I a mean-spirited person. I am all for magnets, although I would never care to put one on my car. I am all for showing support to various causes and organizations. The appeal of some things in this world, though, totally escapes me. Having enough car magnets (good cause or no) to cover up the tail end of my vehicle is one of them.

Beautiful in face and beautiful in spirit.
Awe, shucks. I'm glad I didn't come off as too much of a snob.
Actually (now, don't feel bad), that message was supposed to be for another blogger. My computer was being strange yesterday.
What I wanted to say to you was: "white caps on mud puddles", "pushed around like a little nerd at recess" - I like the way your mind works when you're distracted.
Um, well...I didn't think that your post really captured what I was going for. I just kind of went with it.
For the record, I think my distracted mind is often more productive than my 'right' mind.
