Every now and then the gods conspire to bring something unimportant to importance. Sometimes when it rains, it pours.
Within a 24 hour span, the words 'wagon wheel' were mentioned three times in completely different contexts.
On Saturday afternoon, at Pine Grove, the band providing entertainment introduced the song Wagon Wheel as the best song Bob Dylan never wrote. On Sunday afternoon, Wendy mentioned the words 'wagon wheel' out of the blue. And the third wagon wheel reference was in Saturday's cryptic crossword puzzle from the Globe & Mail. Here's the cryptic crossword clue....
Clue: With Ang Lee, who arranged support for a coach (5,5).
Answer: Wagon wheel.
Don't ask. For that matter, don't ask about the picture that I borrowed for this blog. Clearly the naive boy has cracked his wagon wheel. Maybe he's going to offer half to the toadstool helmeted, Goth zombie stalker behind him. Maybe he doesn't even know she's there, and she's going to eat his brain and have the wagon wheel for dessert.
I used to eat Wagon Wheels as a child. Not regularly, mind you, but enough to cause some mild retardation. I surrender this blog as proof.
