My hair caught on fire from my blow dryer.

I had to chase my cows back into the field.

There was fresh powder on the hill. I had to go skiing.

A black bear entered my carport and decided to take a nap on the hood of my car.

There was a store grand opening and I wanted to get the opening day sales.
