It was the twilight time, neither too dark nor too much light, and we decided to go grocery shopping, instead of the five mile walking rounds which we have every evening. The grocery store was more than a mile away and as we walked on the road, which apparently joined the cities of College Station and Bryan, I saw cars zooming past us, well over the speed limit of 25 mph, and I suddenly had this sinister wish....a wish that no sounds come out of any of the cars passing by, with just a snap of my fingers....then I went ahead and imagined the gory details of the implications if it really happened.......every walker on the road will have to be extra careful...I could imagine careless people being rammed into and the driver confused whether their cars are switched on or off! I could imagine the fear in the drivers of smaller cars when a big 18 wheeler sneaks up in the next lane....I could imagine kids and old people being run over by backing cars....sometimes sadistic thoughts make you laugh.....I even imagined me making a movie called "Silence of the Rams".....
