Go Ask Alice

I left school at the end of the day with the full intention to return and get things ready for Open House. But something made me turn my car down a side street I never take from school. As I drive, thinking, "Okay, now you are just going to get lost and waste time again...",  I turn on the radio and it starts playing White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane.
"So down the rabbit hole I go, but at least you are by my side." I whisper out loud as I laugh and silently thank you for a funny moment in a long day. Then I turn onto another new street and what ran across right in front of my car? A white rabbit. "Shut the front door!"  I shout and laugh  incredulously. A white rabbit. Of course it did. A white rabbit! What was it doing in this residential neighborhood just hopping across the street? I pull over and get out to take a picture as it ran back across the street, stopping in the middle as if to listen to the song blaring from the car, turned and looked right at me, then continued on its journey under the fence. Of course it did.

"There is no use in trying." said Alice, "One can't believe in impossible things."
"I dare say you haven't had much practice. " said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

I believe.
