Well, if you go up to Mauna Kea, along the way you must "Beware Invisible Cows". The road is open range and the cows can wander where ever they want and some of them are grey or white. It is cloudy and foggy up there frequently, so occasionally you get a grey cow in the fog - hence "Beware Invisible Cows".
Carolann, this is kinda interesting, though. Why is it more significant that it was a coconut that fell on the road in front of your car instead of a tree branch? Would your reaction have been the same if it would have been a tree that fell? Perhaps coconuts symbolize beaches and tropicalness and fun sunny days and are't supposed to jump out at people and it is more wrong for them to do it than tree branches? Kinda like it would be much more alarming to be bitten by a butterfly than a mosquito.
I'm not sure to what extent the County is supposed to "protect" the public, but usually they can't do anywhere near as good of a job as the individual can do themselves. Didn't the County post high wind warnings? It was on the radio and it was pretty easy to see even if they hadn't mentioned it. In cases of high wind, things get blown over and around. Not only coconuts, but tree limbs, power poles, roofs, kids play toys, etc. etc. The County gives us warning of things and then pretty much expects us to take care of ourselves since they certainly can't do it.
If we did expect them to protect us, then they would expect us to pay a whole lot more in taxes. I certainly would't like that. Especially since they would probably not be very effective about it even if they did try it.
Do you think a few slices of coconut creme pie would even out the excessive yang coconut kharma you seem to be currently experiencing? I think coconut creme pie would enhance the yin kharma aspects, especially if you had a couple of coconut macaroons along with it.
