This morning marked Snappy the Wonder Honda's triumphant return to the morning commute. While no drag racing took place, some guy in an Altima cut me off real bad as I merged onto Route 6, so I floored it and whipped in front of him. Then, taking a cue from DeNiro in Ronin, I cut the wheel hard and ripped the emergency brake on so I did sharp 180 and slammed it into reverse. As I was doing 90 in reverse right in front of the Altima, I was wanting to shove my 9mm out the window and fire several rounds through the windshield, but all I had was this little Toucan Sam shaped sqeezey squirt gun that my in-laws got for Baby Daughter at Cereal City. So I squeezed off a couple shots which splattered pathetically on my own front bumper. At this point the Altima was bearing down on me (I could see him laughing at my sadly foiled attempt to annihilate him, mocking me with his soulless, sunglassed eyes) and Snappy was shaking pretty hard so I just lamely whipped back around and pulled off into the slow lane, and the guy sped off flipping me the bird.

Maybe that's an exaggeration, a little embellishment perhaps. Aw hell, I stole the whole damn idea from somewhere else anyway. The part about the Altima cutting me off is true though.

Anyhow... Just as I was thinking “Hey, where's Paul Ford?”, he comes back with a retooled FTrain. The structure is set up “to explore the ways narrative structures and graph data structures overlap.” Complex, very interesting and well worth exploring.
