So I was returning from the mailbox yesterday, retrieving the post, when I hear this cracking noise.

"Aha!" I think to myself "that sounds like a..."

THWACK

"...branch about to hit me in the head"

Yes, it's true. A branch broke off the oak tree that hangs over my driveway and struck me in the back of the head. Wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry so I went with laughing instead. Have a bit of a goose egg today.

I have never heard of anyone else being struck in the back of the head with a branch in their own driveway, have you?

Only me!

Maybe it's god's way of telling me to get the stick out of my ass, eh?
