We were driving home from a wake tonight. My best friend's mom, who most of us have always called Granny, passed away at the ripe age of 85. She was a wonderful woman, who adopted so many of us and kept us around her for years. The wake was in Holyoke, MA and we stopped and ate in West Springfield just before coming home to Worcester, which is about an hour's drive.
We were having a wee bit of trouble with the van--nothing serious, I don't think--only that on the last leg of the trip going and coming, the car would momentarily offer a bit of resistance against accelerating and seem to "drag" a bit. (I think it was vapor lock, though I'm having it checked tomorrow.)
Anyhow, we were just a few minutes from home when something very bizarre happened. Suddenly, out of nowhere, and I do mean out of NOWHERE, my radio turned on. Neither of us were near it. And nothing, except the minor problem we had with the van earlier, was happening with the car except we were on the road coming home. I tried several times to hit the off button, and it wouldn't turn off. At all. We got the car home a few minutes later, and we turned off the car, and when we turned it back on again, the SAME thing happened--the radio would NOT turn off, regardless of how much we pounded on the off button. The only thing that worked was when I pulled the radio out of the dash. Then, when we turned the car back on, it was off and stayed off.
How weird is that? In some ways, I was joking with Steve and said it was a signal from Granny. Even though I'm not religious, it's incidents like this that make you start questioning everything you know about the world in general.
