Overlooking?

So, I firmly believe that we all have super powers - we just have to be willing to understand that for the most part, they're not really cool or useful.  I can't see through steel beams, or leap tall buildings in a single bound.  I don't have x-ray vision, and I never got bitten by a radioactive spider, to my knowledge.

Now, I've said before that if I could pick my super power, I'd be omnilingual.  But the League of Awesome has never sent me a survey allowing me to check a box, send a donation and be done with it.

So, I'm going to take the super power I have and use it.

Like I said, we all have them - they're just not what you'd call... all that practical.

Mine is that I can find four-leaf clovers like a woman possessed.

Yeah, I know - you're green with envy.  Clover green. Who wouldn't be?

I don't know how I find them - I think I have what, since I'm in a whimsical mood, we're going to call "four-sight" - that allows me to scan a patch of clover and pick out the ones that don't belong.

Last week, in a patch near our office, I found three.  And a five-leafer, too.   Now, I can't say it's made me lucky.  It hasn't.

I need to channel my four-sight into something bigger and more badass.

Like - cracking codes, or panning for gold, or mating socks.

If you're omnilingual and want to trade, call me.  I'll throw in a five-leafer and some pepper jelly.
