Woah. I don't even know where to begin.
It's a beautiful day here today, so I decided to spend a little time out geocaching.
I'm driving down the highway on my way to the last cache of the day, a sneaky little hide that a few friends and I failed to find the other day.
All of a sudden, the black SUV about 30 yards ahead of me in the left lane veers off into the median, and over-corrects, causing their car to skid sideways into the right lane.
The gold sedan in front of me slams on their brakes.
I slam on mine, and realizing I'm going to hit the sedan, I quickly get into the left lane with only a couple of feet to spare.
I look into my rear view mirrors as I pull over into the median, and notice that the black SUV somehow ended up in the median facing traffic.
I ran up to their car, as the lady inside screams, "IT WAS A SPIDER!!"
The two little girls in car seats in the back seat are crying.
Their car didn't flip.
Gold sedan didn't hit them.
I didn't hit gold sedan.
Nobody was in my left lane.
Black car didn't hit any cars in the right lane.
Nobody behind us hit anybody
Did I thread the needle as the black SUV made a loop?
Holy smokes.
Somebody had their hand on that scene.
Thank You, Lord.

Mushroom Farming
I recently looked up some stuff on how to grow mushrooms. The good kind.
It's a pretty easy system. You cut down a bunch of logs about a foot and a half long, and drill 2" holes all through them. You insert a little bit of mushroom spore into each hole, and then seal the deal with beeswax. The spore inoculates the entire log in the space of about a year, and exactly one year later, you're harvesting 2 pounds of mushrooms per log per year.
Anyways, it somehow got brought up at work, and my client told me that mushroom farming can be great, as long as you keep it outside.
It seems a friend of his had gotten into mushroom farming too. He had a basement full of these mushroom logs. All was going fine and dandy. He'd harvest a couple of mushrooms every morning, and take them down to the farmer's market to sell.
Eventually though, he went on a 2 week vacation.
When he came back, mushrooms had infested his entire house. They were everywhere. Doors, walls, wood flooring, the ceiling; he came back to a mushroom forest.
And he spent the next 40 days living in a hotel as his house was fumigated.
He moved his logs outside after that.
