Seven Years

side-view

No, that is not my side mirror.  It is a picture I pulled off the internet, but it does reflect the sort of damage that mine sustained on Tuesday when it was brutally attacked by the car wash.

When it happened, I thought about broken mirrors bringing seven years of bad luck. 

Upon reflection, I decided that

  1. It was just a silly superstition with no basis in fact.
  2. I didn’t break the mirror, the car wash did.  That Shell station (or maybe Royal Dutch Shell) is in for a rough ride.
  3. Or – if it did apply to me, at least I would have to stick around for another seven years.  I might not enjoy it, but a guarantee that I’ll live to be eighty isn’t all bad.
