Add "Composer" to the List of Accomplishments on my Wikipedia Page

So I have a turkey sandwich in one hand and vitamin water in the other and I'm getting into my Honda Accord when a poodle-y looking dog pokes his head out of the half-open window of the car next to me and barks.


It shocks me so badly that I fall sideways into my driver's seat, causing my shoulder to hit the horn in the steering wheel.


Which causes the dog to stop barking.


I quickly close my car door and stare bravely at the dog.  He stares back.


I am having a staring contest with a dog.


Then he barks again.


So I honk the horn again.


And he barks again.


So I honk again.


And so it went.  For two minutes.


Bark.  Honk.  Bark.  Honk.  Bark.  Honk.


I'm not saying this is the proper way to handle "the-dog-who-pokes-his-head-out-of-the-car-parked-right-next-to-you-and-barks" situation, but it did mark the first time I've written an avant-garde symphony with a dog.


I am nothing if not innovative.
