Intrusions

Small complaint here. More of a tweak. If you're extremely busy, you don't even have to read it. Anyway, I was driving my car with the windows rolled down this afternoon, doing errands on a picture perfect early fall day, when a very noisy truck whizzed past in the opposite direction and spoiled my serene mood. I'm sure the driver did not purposely intrude on the music I was listening to (blues master Freddie King) and my peaceful thoughts. I realize we're all in this thing together, heading in different directions to get where we need to go. But I've often wished there was a more intricate "grand design" that would minimize sudden intrusions like this.

How's this for a plan? In the new world you're designing, if a person (let's call him Anton) knowingly annoys someone, then he has to pay for it in some way. I'll leave the consequences to you, but a few things come to mind: (1) Anton does not get the next job he applies for, (2) Anton's soy milk has a powerful stench just as he begins pouring it over his breakfast cereal, (3) Anton's date scurries off to the ladies room and never returns, or worst of all, (4) life passes Anton by. Maybe he'd have to annoy a dozen people for No. 4 to occur. It's up to you, God. I'm just the idea man.
