Mad Max Meets Waterworld

Thank you Mad Max stunt driver for the bucket of water on my head!

I was craving Cap’n Crunch cereal, the one with crunch berries, and I knew I was completely out of milk so I swing by Publix just to get milk. I say this to indicate how briefly I was inside to buy milk. It was not raining when I got out of my car to go inside. Add a few minutes because they put milk way at the back of the store so I have to go back past hundreds of impulse items (I admit it, I also picked up the new Star Wars Oreo cookies which I never would’ve noticed had I not been passing through to get to the milk). After a fairly quick checkout, I’m back to my car in under ten minutes. And I notice it’s rained. One of those quick South Florida bursts. The pavement is wet. My car is wet. No big deal, it’s sunny now, right?! So I open my sunroof to let in the air and get a dose of vitamin D and I’m going toward the exit when VRROOOOOOOOOOM - a motorcycle goes flying by me at 100mph, so I have to slam on my brakes (these motorcycles ignore lanes and come out of nowhere!) -- and by hitting my brakes so suddenly, a massive avalanche of water comes pouring in on me from the open sunroof above! This had never happened to me in my life, I didn’t even know it was possible! In retrospect obviously it makes sense. Water recently collected up above, newly opened orifice, sudden stop - bucket of water on head - of course that’s what should happen. So thank you mystery motorcycle guy for the shower. And good luck to you, because one of these days we drivers won’t see you zipping along like you’re in a Mad Max movie.
