How could any common item in the age of computers and printouts cause me to beware? I was unsuspecting as I stood before my printer collating the papers for the paper clip.

The foul ball left the bat with a determined route eluding a tall net and posts of various needs, and flew beyond the ballpark with a beeline to my parked car driver’s side windshield.
