Almost every day for over 3 weeks I’ve driven through the same set of temporary traffic lights due to some roadworks. That’s at least 36 trips through these lights. I would guess that there’s a 60% chance of hitting the light on red (50:50, minus the time when both sides are red to allow traffic to clear the roadworks). For someone to hit the lights on red EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME has odds of around 1 in 96,951,601. Now this could be a coincidence, of course. I’m just saying that, as an atheist, I could feel a little picked on. If there was something to do the picking, of course.

Actually, I’m to blame. God has put me under Job-like testing when it comes to traffic signals, and because He moves in mysterious ways not governed by traffic signals or any order visible mechanisms He lets those who know me share the affliction. Or something like that.
Damn you, you heathen! Though as a fellow heathen I’m not sure what I can damn you to. So I guess I’ll just have to damn you generally. Consider yourself damned, and you bet that damned should be pronounced as two syllables.
Done. I tried to pronounce it with two syllables but I’ve lived in Minn. only a few years and it doesn’t come as naturally as it does to the native-speakers.
