to let cars in and out of parking garages and lots? They move kind of slow, and they're usually paintd *BRIGHT YELLOW* with *DARK STRIPES* so you can see them and don't drive into one? Well I walked *under* one. Not on purpose. Not just "scooting under" thinking I'd get through. I was walking through a parking lot, taking a short cut, day-dreaming, or course, and THWAP! Knocked on the forehead. Cleverly, I said, "Ouch!" and jumped back a bit, checking to see if my nose was still attached. It was.

When I got home, I had a nice, black bruise in the center of my head--looked like I was having Ash Wednesday early. My head didn't feel too bad, but it jolted my neck. But damn--dumbest story I can tell on myself.
