In the shadow of Mercury metro

So I was driving a friend to the train station after dinner last night. We were stopped at a light and she said, “Oh, you can drop me off here at the corner.”

“You know, this has been a real bitch of a retrograde, I think I’d rather drop you off at the curb cut. It’s probably safer,” I said. She said okay. “Yeah, it really sucked, didn’t it?”

The light changed, and we saw a cop car turn into the intersection and hit a woman who was walking across, her face stuck in her smartphone.

“Holy shit,” I said. We watched as the woman got in the car — I guess the cop was taking her to the ER to get checked out.

So as it turns out, it was a good idea not to let my friend get out at the corner.

  1. Yin Yang. As the wheel turns sometimes your (our) number comes up. Do the sun and the moon and the stars cause “it” or predict “it?” Cause and effect or free will?
