I've become some sort of involuntary agent of chaos and anarchy, it seems. Earlier I decided to make a pot of stew, so I drove to the store, as I lacked both beef and carrots. On the way I saw a wreck, although it had happened before I got there. At the store itself, a display of cabbages spontaneously collapsed as I entered the produce section. No-one around them, the pyramid just suddenly went critical, and cabbages everywhere! They make a kind of dull thumping noise when they hit the floor, if you've ever wondered. They were 'Foxy' brand cabbages too.
I decided to get some soda as well, since the place was likely to be closed tomorrow. In the soda aisle, some kid picked up a 24-pack of Mountain Dew with a bit too much enthusiasm, and the cardboard gave way, sending canned sodae everywhere. None of them burst, though.

I love the smell of summer rain after a hot day, that particular smell at the very beginning of a storm, when the ground's just getting wet. That's one of my favourite smells.
