Now and then, one has to drive around and visit customers. And so i did today. I went to the "cities over the water" and brought my hello's to Carla, Adrian and Ariadne. Trouble with printers, viruses, printers and yes printers. I had a nice day of work, and everything went to plan. Up till .... 6pm: TWO unexpected road accidents.
I only lost 30 minutes at the first one. I had followed my intuition and never stood still. I passed the debris ... and crossed the rivers.
In Luny-Woods there was another standstill. No movement. No movement at all. The radio said police had completely blocked the road 5 miles ahead.
I was standing at a traffic exchanger and finally decided to leave the highway and risk a drive into no-man's land. Places I had never seen before. I refuse the use of GPS devices. They take away all the fun.
And so I drove through: RichFroggs, East-Funny and SourTown. The moon was full (eclipsed later that night) and gave me directions.
And then i saw her. Me waiting for a red traffic light, she crossing the zebra with a packet of french fries. A spark of recognition. 20 years untouched. The Girl with Red Hair. She recognized me too. A bright smile on her moonlit face. A "WOW" experience. Nothing more to say, we only exchanged innocent smiles for 3 blue moments and a bright comma. Then we continued our roads in different directions. Just like 20 years ago. ... when she forgot to give me her phonenumber and not enough clues to find her.
My wheels continued for the port of HandsThrown. My memories elsewhere. 30 minutes later i safely arrived home.
