 Just this Thursday, when I drove during lunch to the CD shop to get Capricornia, on the way back (we live in a rural area of Illinois), I was driving down the small winding country road, with farms on both sides.  Up ahead, I saw something large in the middle of the road.  I squinted, and looked again....When I got closer, I had to come to a complete stop.....because there was that big Holstein Cow, which got out from the fence, and was just wondering on the road.  I finally managed to drive around.  I know we have cows in the area, but I've never before seen them walk in the middle of the road.

Can't remember if I was listening to the Oils when I spun my MR2 out into a
guardrail on I-5...probably was.

then and have greatly improved my driving skills!)

Hey Fellow 'Workers

As a lurker who hasn't posted in a couple years probably, I figured
that I'd speak up with a newer topic and see if anyone else has had a
similar experience.

Driving back home to Canada from the States last night I was listening
to my shiny new copy of Capricornia - I had to pick it up in the States
because I couldn't get it in my area of Canada yet (and I couldn't wait
for my Whammo order.) Anyways, the roads were covered with snow and
slush and as I was enjoying "Too Much Sunshine" on my stereo I lost
control (black ice, I suspect) and wrecked my VW Jetta. I certainly
could have used a little bit more sunshine apparently! But all is good
and when we came to a standstill the Oils were still rocking away -
right on!

So, anyone else had a good car wreck while listening to the Oils? Mine
certainly brought all the action an excitement of a live show right to
mind! Ha! Take care all!
