As I was driving home, eastbound on a two-lane highway, I saw in the distance that a car was passing another car heading westbound on my highway. Then I saw a second car pass the slowpoke. Both passing cars had their headlights on. As I got closer, and I got closer in a hurry because the two headlit cars were seriously moving, I saw that the car in front was a white hearse with flags a-flapping. The car behind was a Toyota FJ Cruiser, bright yellow, also with flags a-flapping.
I believe I saw the least sedate funeral procession in the history of funerals, but thankfully it was also one of the shortest!
Odd, isn’t it, how random fleeting sights and experiences can take on significance in one’s emotional inside.
