Good Karma or Bad Karma?
This past Monday I was sitting at a red light in my work van. All of a sudden I heard a loud crunching sound. I thought ” that’s not good”. Then I realized I was rolling into the intersection. Someone had rear ended me.
Once I stopped the van, I realized my vision was blurry. It took a few seconds to realize that my glasses had been knocked off my head by the impact. I found them on the dashboard after some searching.
I got out and made sure no one was hurt. My knees hurt but otherwise I was ok.
A policeman approached me and said he witnessed the whole thing. So that was good.
Wednesday I was leaving to take Ranger for his nightly walk. As I was locking the door, he started to pull. Really hard. Before I knew it Ranger was dragging me down the front steps. I tried to stop him and see what he was after. I failed at both. Fortunately I let go before I did a face plant on the sidewalk.
I took off after him as fast as I could limp. He was after a cat. Once the cat had escaped he came back to his senses.
Thursday I went to the doctor because my knee was sore in a different place. I told chef I was sure he would think I had a drinking problem due to my frequent injuries by unusual causes. He never mentioned it. After playing “does this hurt? YES” and a few x rays, we determined nothing major was hurt. So that’s good.
This is my problem with karma did I do something bad for the bad things to happen or good for the good endings? If so why didn’t they just cancel themselves out?

Karma just loves slapstick.
I always get karma and Benny Hill confused.
OH NO!! Now I’ll be hearing Boots Randolph all night!
(Glad you’re OK, BTW.)
Which raises the question “Good Karma or bad?” or in Benny Hill terms, who gets the pie in the face?
Well, if you WANT some pie, then normally Good Karma would be Bad Karma. Which goes to show that John Milton was right? (”The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven.”)
How did we get from Boots Randolf to John Milton? Now, are we talking cream or fruit pie? That makes a difference.
In all pie in the face questions, I refer not to Milton but Monty Python.
