This is a story that Chicken Little would love.  A piece of piping hot metal fell out of the sky, punctured the roof of a Delaware woman’s SUV and came to rest on the floor behind the front seats.  It happened to hit her SUV while she was shopping in a drugstore. The FAA and the military say that it didn’t come from a plane, and some of the people leaving comments on the story surmise that it’s space junk or something ejected from a machine in the vicinity.  I’m liking the space junk theory, what with me believing in Martians.

This is also one of those stories where you ask yourself if the person involved is lucky or unlucky.  If you’re a glass-half-full kind of person then you think she’s lucky because she wasn’t in the car when it hit, but if you tend to take a negative view on life then you’re probably thinking she’s the unluckiest woman around since she managed to be the only person on Earth that had an unidentified piece of piping hot metal pierce through the roof of her new SUV just a few days before her wedding.

Whether this gal’s lucky or unlucky if I’m someone in her wedding party I’m angling for the end of the line farthest from the altar.  No reason to push my own luck.
