Comfort foods of future's past.
You may remember back when a certain valve cover bolt broke on me. If you are a close reader you may also remember that I made a minor update that the bolt could be had but would take time. To briefly catch up, I drove back to the 'boro with the missing bolt, ordered one from the local Saturn dealership and it arrived yesterday so I went and got it. I got the call that it was there just about quitting time, so I skipped out a beat or two early and tried to beat the rush. I managed not only to beat the rush but after paying my $7.00 for my bolt, was able to skip right out and nab a tank of $2.89 gas.
Sara was in class, I was on my own, and I was feeling good. What to do about dinner? What to do? It occurred to me that what I really wanted was fried chicken, fried okra, and fried japalano cheese bombers. I wasn't sure why I craved comfort food and didn't give it much thought. I was having a great day and I saw no reason not to go with the flow.
Got my chicken, got my okra, got my bombers, love me some Churches. I had a great drive home. Once I put the food inside I went outside to install that bolt. There is no need to go around with a screw missing. It didn't take but a minute, and as an afterthought I realized I should now snug the bolt to the left and the right of the new one. There is no need to go around with a screw or two loose. First bolt snugged, check. Second bolt, *snap*. [EXPLETIVE DELETED] It was a Kahn moment. Worse yet, it was a nooooo moment.
I read an article the other day which stated that there was a growing pool of evidence that most to all people have the capacity to see a little into the future. And there is quantum science that backs up the theory that particles can move forward and backward in time.
I don't think I need fancy science to tell me what is so plainly obvious. I had comfort food on hand BECAUSE deep down inside, I already knew I would need it.
At any rate, I needed it, it was there, I ate of it, I felt better. That's all that matters. I mean other than the fact that I have to go out and order ANOTHER $7.00 bolt, figure out how I am going to get the broken old bolt out of the aluminum block and replace it without breaking anything else. I think I feel like chicken for lunch.
