True story--during a winter storm--car begins spinning on a crowded icy highway, slowly, slowly, slowy, round and round and round as Let It Be [1] plays on the radio. I close my eyes to avoid hearing the inevitable sound of metal colliding with metal and let go of the steering wheel. I open my eyes to find the car resting on the berm, unscathed--snow quietly falling all around me.
