Is that a flying saucer?

The strangest thing happened today. We were driving in a residential area. As usual, I was busy "what ifing" good places to hide bodies. Suddenly the hood on the car in front of ours flipped up, banged against the windshield and then curled up onto the roof. The passenger side hinge held or the hood would have blown completely off.

The driver pulled over and stopped. And I wondered if he thought he was lucky or cursed. The old "glass half-empty or half-full" question. The bad news; he couldn't drive the car with the hood on the roof. The good news; he wasn't going seventy miles an hour down the freeway.

Having been in target range, I'm squarely in the glass half-full camp.
