Driving to Costco
I'm driving to Costco. As I'm approaching my turn I realize that I'm in the go-straight lane instead of the left-turn lane. I get ready to change lanes and look to my left and see that the turn lane is completely packed and there's no room for me. I'm not sure what to do - try to force my way over, keep going and make a U-turn, or what. In the end, I decide to stop in the middle of the intersection and wait for an opportunity to turn. Now I look up and see that the light is red. After checking to make sure it's safe, I complete my turn. I'm surprised to see that another car turns behind me, and I hope that it's not police. I look more closely in my rearview mirror and can see that it's just an old jeep-style car. As I return my attention in front of myself, I see there's a police car on the other side of the road. I hope he doesn't pull a U-turn behind me, and I start to prepare what I'm going to say if he comes after me. Thankfully, he doesn't.


Belt joke
I'm looking at a group of guys who I know are old-timey military officers. They're waiting around for some British officers to arrive. The man in charge says that, originally, they were just going to "meet" over the phone, but someone decided that they should really meet face-to-face. He's mirthful, describing his plan to his friends: he's going to give the ranking British officer a "gift" of a "special" belt. He starts talking in what I assume are inuendos I don't know, saying things like how it takes two people to play a tuba.


Sticky leak
I'm standing in my breakfast nook. I notice an odd puddle - it looks sticky - on the floor and look around for its source. I expect to see a knocked-over cup nearby, but I can't see anything. I look up and don't see anything. I look more closely and see a hairline crack with a drop coming out of it again. I look again and see a gaping hole in the ceiling and a cracked pipe which is leaking the stuff. I call to my wife, who's in the pantry behind me, to come and look; then I rush downstairs to find the house's master water cutoff. I know I've used it before, but I can't remember where it is. I hope I'll be able to find it quickly.

Now I'm downstairs. There's something about tiles, and things go poorly.

Now I'm in the parking lot of a home improvement store, loading up the white van with the stuff I need to fix the house. I'm trying to load stuff onto the roof, but it's huge, and I'm having trouble. Someone comes over and helps me. As we get the supplies onto the roof, we knock down my daughter's brown stuffed animal. I'm amused and confused - how could that possibly have gotten up there? As far as I know, the kids never left the car.
