What's the Hidden Meaning?

While driving back onto our post yesterday, I ended up right behind a Krispy Kreme delivery truck.

(For anyone who's wondering... "On Post" means leaving the real world and entering the military one... with guards and gates and lots of camo. And Krispy Kreme? Well... I don't have any idea how to explain that.)

Now back to the real story.

As I sat at the red light, I found myself daydreaming. About jumping into the back of that truck and hijacking myself some doughnuts.

I had a whole elaborate plan worked out. I was even thinking about snatching boxes for friends and how I'd leave my car idling and how I'd be so stealthy that the truck driver would never know I was there. Until he got to his destination with no doughnuts.

Either it was a really long red light or I have serious carb issues.

Or maybe it's from living here.

The light changed, and I turned, and that was the end of that.

Until today.

I was sitting at another red light. On the other side of the base. I was thinking about my silly daydream from the day before. Laughing at myself and wondering if any other human ever has the same bizarre ideas that I seem to have.

Smiling at my insanity, I looked up to drive through the light.

You will never believe who was in front of me.


I've been trying to convince myself that it was purely coincidence.

Or was it?

Okay, if it happens again, you HAVE to sneak on the truck. Deal? Deal!

I think you just need to head for that drive thru and get you a dozen. And then eat them all. That's what I would do. ;)

Girl, go get some doughnuts. Just plunk down the cash and buy some. That would be ever so much better than grand theft doughnut.
