Knock On Wood

My refusal to pay for parking has put me in dicey situations previously, but last night was particularly perilous. I was initially grateful for the strobe-style lighting effect provided by a brilliant lightning storm. Five minutes into a hike through Swope Park I realized my predicament. My pockets full of electronic devices, keys and coins, I was standing in the middle of a vast, tree-less field. I guess God isn't done with me yet.
