Once, I was in the middle of nowhere, well actually near Clifton, New
Jersey. I had just picked up a weeks supply of Taylor Pork Roll. I jumped
in the van, and almost brazenly, I started the ingnition without regard to
the blinking sensor light.

Outside, a small whirlwind started, and overhead a cloud formed in the
shape of Jerry Garcia's head, and it spoke to me:

"The key is life, the key is power.....
  but never turn the key, until
  the light looks like a flower"....

Well I stared at the light, then stared out the cloud, and I wasn't sure
which was looking like a flower, but I heeded that advice. And as quickly
as it came, the whirlwind disappeared, the cloud blew away, and all was
still....

Now, I before I start the van, I wait until the light looks like a flower
before turning the key. Sometimes it takes a long time.
