So I got home pretty late on Thursday, yesterday, er, two hours ago.  It was late and when I got into my car to drive home I noticed a moth on my back windshield.
When I pulled into the garage, the moth was still there.

Well, I didn't want the moth to get loose inside the garage where it might chew on laundry or power cables like so many Minoc.  So I just opened the garage door and pulled out, noticed I didn't see it and pulled in and closed the door.  Then the lights came on from the garage door opener mechanism.  The moth was still there.

No problem, I thought I might just drive around the block to get rid of it.  It was still there. 

Okay, I decided to drive a little farther where the speed limit was higher then on my block - 40 mph.  No luck, still there.

I said screw it, I'll drive down to the freeway and exit at the next exit.  If it's not there, I'll go to Kinko's which I needed to do anyway.  No luck still there, so I kept driving down another freeway where you can spot the cops off in the distance if they're there at all.  I got up to 90 mph and it was still there. 

I got off at the next exit and turned around to go back toward Kinko's at 90 mph again.  Still there. 

So I pulled into Kinko's.  One of the employees was having a smoke outside.  I took care of what I needed inside and came out.  I explained to the smoker that I had driven at 90 mph to try to get rid of the little guy and he wasn't letting go.

As I was explaining this to the dude, I took my car key and gently tried to flick it away.  It fell into the crack between my windshield and my trunk.  Great, now it's going to pop out in my garage when i get home I thought.  So I open the trunk and try to  flick it some more, only this causes it to hide in a hole near the hinge of the trunk.   Darnit.

-All this time the smoker is laughing his ass off.  First at my story of driving around at $4 for a gallon of gas, and then because I was blowing into the trunk hinge to get the damn thing out.

Finally it flops out and lands on the parking lot pavement, only it's in the d

Oh my effing lord, a

Okay, I had to stop mid-sentence.  A moth, not related to the subject of this post, just jumped on the darn computer screen.  Tried to take a few pics and some video.  Will add it at the end of this post.

Anyway, back to the moth in the Kinko's parking lot.  It was right behind my tire so if I pulled out, I would run over it.  So I scooted it along, and it placed itself in the middle of the main lane for parking at Kinko's where it was sure to get smushed.  I must have scooted it a dozen times.

So I scooted it along even further until it landed in a tree.   Meanwhile the smoker gave up on smoking his smoke because he was laughing at me and suggested I just kill it.

"No way, this thing has survived this long, it deserves a chance to pass along it's DNA to some offspring."

-I just captured and released the moth that landed on my computer screen.

What's the deal with all the moths tonight?

Gay Man?

Gay Marriage?

If I had to guess he was reading a news report about the gay marriage thumbs up (no pun intended, well maybe a little) by the California Supreme Court.   Or he is Cleopatra, Queen of Denial.

OCD much?

I may have a theory as to how the moth was able to remain on the back window even at 90 mph...

...bear with me, I just woke up...anyway, the moth was probably able to stick on the back window even at excessive speed due to the aerodynamics of the vehicle.  As the air passed over the top of the vehicle and down the back window, the channel of air could have been compressing the moth to the window, thereby keeping it attached to the window.

...thoughts on this?  If you like my ideas, you may subscribe to my newsletter.

I bet if you drove backwards at 90mph it would of come off.
