Speaking to the press about North Korean and Iranian collaboration on missile proliferation, President Bush referred to the “Axis of Evil” member nations as perhaps being “less endowed.”
“Their missiles are only this big!”

Before speaking President Bush performed a difficult mathematical computation in order to determine his first statement. The equation was something to the effect of ‘one secret service agent, wearing top of the line body armor, versus several thousand U.S. Soldiers and Marines with inadequate body armor’. Then he spoke, “I can tell you one thing, that armor you’ve been requesting is on a plane here as we speak!”

Barack Obama won a vital contest in South Carolina on Saturday in his quest for the U.S. Democratic presidential nomination, showing strength among southern blacks who make up half the state’s Democratic voters.

Near as I can tell however, the last week of my life has been chalk full of irony (I use Dictionary.com). If you read my last post, This Deja Vu Is Getting Old, you know about the white truck pulling a flatbed trailer which has been haunting me of late. The thing is, part of my job is to drive up into the Rocky Mountain towns from time to time. Guess what I drive when I go? A white truck pulling a flatbed trailer.
Ironic? I certainly think so. My Mother told me that it was all a sign and that, whether I believed in “Him” or not someone (and I think she used the word Angel) was sending me a sign. I told her that it was a pretty blunt and obvious sign and that it would be hard to miss. I’m not sure what I believe really, but I kept my truck at a steady 70 mph yesterday — a good 5 mph under the speed limit. I only hit 75 when passing, never exceeding it, and had no problems all the way home.
What’s the lesson here, message received? I’m not sure. I know that mathematically the odds of having so many incidents related to the same rig over the course of an entire week are pretty slim, even with the deluge fleet white work trucks on our highway recently. To have survived them all is something that I will have to ponder for a while.
I suppose these events will just slip into the past, eventually becoming a distant memory, but for now I can’t help but to dwell on the irony. Of course, I suppose that I can no longer claim that these events are unexpected, so perhaps the word irony had only a temporary bearing on this story. What word shall I use then, luck? Divine assistance? More than likely it was just my keen Sailor’s Intuition.
What do you think?
