This weekend I’ve been shuffling furniture and moving to a new apartment.  Today I had a car load, which included boxes of books, blankets and pillows, and my dear plant.

Plant was in the back seat, nestled between the backseat and the front armrest.

I don’t have functioning AC, so I drive with the windows rolled down.

But as I picked up speed on the freeway, reaching 60mph, little flecks of dirt were flying around the car, hitting me in the face and covering my skin & clothes.

Me: “What the hell’s going on? Is this a tornado?”

No, you dummy.  It’s the soil from your plant. 

Me: “I’ve got plant all over me!”

Lesson learned.  Next time it’s going in the trunk.  Either that or I fix my AC.  Toss up.
