Why did I have to miss it? Why? It could have been so glorious!!!
I get distracted for like two minutes, and you know what happens? I miss my odometer reaching 10,000!!! I'd been waiting all week for this momentous occasion, and just as I feared, the damn thing turned while I was probably singing along to some dumb song. What's even worse is that I not only missed out on lucky number 10,000, but I also didn't even get to see the consolation prize: 10,001. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO SYMMETRICAL!!!!
Oh well. It wasn't a total loss though...
While I was stopped at the light, I looked to my right and saw this guy having a very heated conversation with a telephone pole. It wasn't as cool as the odometer, but it would have to do:
It was probably funnier in person. Sigh.

Ooh, bummer. I'm crazy like that too. I was lucky enough to have my car reach 100,000 miles when I pulled into my garage. I spent about 10 minutes taking pictures - car lights on, car lights off, the whole speedometer & dash, just the odometer. It was awesome. Er, sorry you missed out on the fun.
Do you know what you were singing?
You mean a telephone "pole" right- or are telephones in CA enlightened enough to vote?
As you can tell, my mind was elsewhere this afternoon.
Okay, was that post really funny, or am I still drunk from last night?
I bet it was that "Um-buh-rella" song. Good stuff.
I made my step-kids and my husband all go for a drive when our car was about to go over 123,456 and then again at 125,000.
