No Control

This is kind-of a stupid post, but I was just watching some news coverage of the hurricane. They were interviewing a guy at a car dealership and the reporter wondered why some of the car windows and trunks were opened. The guy said when the water gets into the electrical system, it can make the car do pretty much anything. He had noticed cars blinking lights, popping trunks, rolling down windows, etc. One truck started a demolition derby. A mini-van slipped over to a nearby McDonalds.

I was kinda sleepy during the interview, so I may have mis-heard a thing or two. Just goes to show you, though, we're never really in control.
