I have managed to set my hair on fire twice. (Must have had some fun parties!)
As a kid: nearly drowned once, was chased by a pedophile another time.
As a carefree student travelling by bicycle in every kind of weather: close encounters with moving cars at least three times, with the ground a few more.
I was hit by a bus while walking, and survived.
Thank you, God.
Winter weather clues in the morning:
A cool bedroom: it's been a cold night. Slightly too warm: milder weather. A soft, blueish light: snow on the ground. The rumbling of snowplows or an eerie silence outside: lots of new snow. The sound of someone scraping ice off their car: frost. A bright light with the sky high as a cathedral outside my window: very cold. The sound of dripping wetness: thaw. Noisy crackling under the wheels of passing cars: thawed snow that has frozen over again. Dirty yellow air: a blizzard approaching.
