It could Happen to YOU! 6 comments

22 Apr 2004 @ 23:52, by Marissa A Spencer It could Happen to YOU! I know what you are thinking….I imagined this all. Right? I admit it seems a bizarre thing. I was returning from Los Angeles late April 2000, and found myself sitting around 2 AM at the Sacramento Airport Terminal. I was waiting for one of those cute little blue vans to take me home. I was waiting at the front where the vans picked you up. The night was still dark and the view to the parking lot and attending streets was in good view. There were not many cars around at that time of day. I had some fellow weary travelers for a while, but their ride arrived and spirited them off. Funny thing I should say spirited…isn’t it? Ho! You say! Yes I do…odd things were going to happen while I sat there in the cool early hours waiting for that dang van. I had been visiting my son and his wife. She was expecting and wanted a motherly comfort as she was feeling pretty poorly (as many woman do in the early months). I happily went down and did what I could (wasn’t much one can do for morning sickness), and spent time with both of them. It was a nice visit, I enjoyed every minute of it. Back to the airport; am I trying to build suspense?…yes in a way I guess I am. For what happened could be considered a perfectly normal occurrence….maybe. I sat there, watching the empty parking lot and entrance road. I think I was completely alone except for the people inside the terminal. The cool air was pleasant and I sat under the eaves of the terminal. There were inset lights all along above me. Of course, the parking lot was riddled with the usual lighting on tall poles. I sat on that cold concrete (no there was no seating) and sighed to myself. I noticed the street light directly in front of me about 40 feet away from me going off. Now, I am aware of street lights that will do that occasionally. I wasn’t going to get all freaked out. It was directly in front of me, right on the other side of the van driveway pick-up zone. The light went off. A few moments later it came on again. Then it came on again. It started to do this in a pretty regular fashion. I perused the parking lot and saw the lights down one way, down the other way, as far as I could see, and none of them were going off and on. I figured it was a faulty switch, or perhaps a bulb on it’s last sizzle. I sat there watching this light activity for some time. I noticed suddenly the light above me going off. I am thinking… sure… be that way. The inset light right above me starts doing an on and off dance with the street light. You know, there are times when I am really glad to be alone. It looked very, very odd. I figured I was not centering my energy well and it was flying willy- nilly everywhere. It really is embarrassing when that happens. I notice times when street lights as I drive go off in more frequency than chance. Well, it is no surprise that no wind up watch will work on me. I am sure this isn’t a unique experience, but I wanted to share it nonetheless. ©April 22, 2004 Marissa A Spencer
