Gas Tank 1/2 Full (I'm an Optimist)

This is the story of the road that goes to...
Osceola.
First, let me say, DAMMIT.
There.
Now, then. Osceola, WI is not so far away.
It's just that I missed a turn along the way because hours earlier, I sat at my desk and copied the directions on to a post-it note. The very important turn marked "Osceola" tempted me even as I drove past. Oh, no you don't, I thought. I know exactly what happens when I follow my intuitions. So I continued 40 minutes up the road until I broke down in a gas station parking lot.
I have to stop here and say that this story is too distracting because the town's name reminds me of areola.
The End.

Remember that girl at confirmation who's last name was Areola?
That was distracting too.
