‘Suddenly, Everything Happens’ by Hejl

The drive itself looks as annoying as hell with all the stopping and starting, but this video looks great.
Driving home tonight, a police car with lights and sirens going went screaming past me the other way near home. About a mile further along, another police car with lights and sirens came round the corner at the other end of a long straight, heading towards me.
The two-lane road road was pretty busy so I stopped, and so did the traffic going the other way. There was a gap of about 20 feet between us for the police car to overtake all of the traffic in front of him (about 20 cars), so he was heading right towards me before he jinked back through the gap and got back on his own side of the road.
He must have been doing about 80mph and just before he jinked back to his own side of the road, he double-flashed his headlights at me as thanks. He was about 20ft from me when he did it and he was caning it.
It was pretty cool.
There’s a bird round here that, somewhere between midnight and 7am, likes to attack windscreen wipers and tear off the rubber blades. I know it’s a bird because you can see its dirty fricking bird footprints all over the windscreen when you get in the car. I think it’s either that crow or magpie (it’s one bird, I’m just not sure what kind it is) that is always hanging around.
It’s happened three times in the last week. Twice, I’ve got in my car in the morning, turned my wipers on and the rubber blades have just flopped around, but were still attached. The other time, the rubber followed the wiper arm up and then just stuck on the windscreen when the arm came down again.
I’ve tried this method of protection the last three nights and it’s been successful so far. If this doesn’t work, my next plan involves violence.
