Sunday Dodgeball

Today's moment of excitement was playing dodgeball with a giant spare tire that suddenly dropped out of the bottom of a pickup truck rolling towards a red light in front of me. I momentarily parked on a freeway on-ramp beside the truck, and tried to convey to the puzzled driver my emotional state with hand-waving semaphore - something like "the rubber bomb you dropped nearly killed me" - but I don't speak American Sign Language, or even rudimentary gestures, so the moment was lost. I'm just glad it didn't all happen at freeway speeds.
