I'm frequently traffic, and rarely terrific, so it was an odd change when today, I was mythic. I gave a beautiful young maiden the gift of sight.
Okay, not exactly. What actually happened was that as I was walking back from Mythology class, I saw a young lady on a bike drop her glasses in the crosswalk and a car start to creep toward them. I couldn't get to the crosswalk in time to stop the car, so I reached under it as it crept forward, retrieved the glasses, and ran across the street to return them to the young woman. Since there are many myths about the loss and return of sight, about giving gifts to pretty girls, and about undertaking personal risk for the sake of each, I thought that this was sufficiently symbolic and mythic to record here.
Great pun on "sighting" too!!!!!
