I did something shockingly
stupid.
For all you ‘masters
of the pun’ already imagining an electrical accident… Nope.
Not even close.
While driving in
the high mountains yesterday, my buddy and I encountered a barb wire gate that
needed to be opened so we could continue our descent down a meandering mountain
road. As the passenger in our rig, I
hopped out and opened the gate. As soon
as the truck drove through, I closed the gate.
That’s where the
stupid comes into play.
I actually closed
the gate while standing on the wrong side of the fence (the side from which we
approached it). Rather than opening and
closing the gate again after walking through, I climbed over the fence to join
the journey once more.
“I was going to
ask you about the way you were closing the gate,” my buddy said as I approached
the truck again. “But I was thinking you
had a reason.”
“Nope. No reason.
Just stupid. You’re welcome to
share with others. I deserve it.”
We drove on.
Even given my
off-moment at the fence, I had a great day.
Posted are four photographs I captured with my smarter-than-me-phone.
