It's the little things...
This
morning at about 2:00am I walked out onto my driveway and noticed
something on the roof of Datsun 280ZX. It was a large slug, slowly moving from
front to back. I shined my LED flashlight on it and witnessed it's
pneumostome opening and closing as it drew air in and out. I was able to
shine my light completely through the tiny opening, and see the roof on
the other side. It was a surreal moment. I stood
there thinking that I'm looking right through the insides of a creature
that's been around on planet Earth for about 497 million years. It's
moments like these that help put daily struggles in perspective. If
these mostly helpless creatures can survive and evolve over 1/2 a
billion years on this planet, only to someday rise up and leave the
safety of the soil to creep up and over my 1982 Datsun, SURELY the
universe will show me the courtesy of allowing me to FIX said 1982
Datsun before my brief stint on this planet is up. Or it could simply be
a evolutionary LULZS moment, made only to chap my ass. Time will tell
my friends...time will tell.
