Have you ever heard the expression, "Life flashing before your eyes"? Well I can honestly say I have experienced it now. While driving on the road tonight a car almost pulled out in front of me and my family. We had to hit the brakes hard to keep from getting too close and hitting this joker. Let me tell you, it wasn't fun.
Here we are, this big red thing coming down the road and this young guy couldn't see us??! I beg to differ. Some of these people don't need to be out on the roads. It's like they get in and just put their foot down on the gas. Geez!
However, I can tell you that I didn't get too far with my life flashing before me like that because it was a split second kind of thing, but I had to wonder. What would it have happened if I was able to finish that sequence? Scary.
I always heard that when that happens you are going to die. All I can say is, "I'm not ready to die. I feel like I'm too young to give in to that right now. But whatever.
All in a days work, travels, etc.

Continuing on with this, why is it that it takes wrecks to get a community to take the money needed to put up much needed road equipment? Where I live we have a bad intersection and the city/county, whichever, won't do anything about it. I mean we have a traffic light there but we need a lead in light. Sometimes when the sun is out and people are in a hurry we have wrecks out the Ying yang. We had one earlier this fall with two teens and an out of state vehicle. Sad, but the teens were scuffed up bad and the person in the other car was hurt. All because we take chances with our lives and the lives of those riding in the car/truck/SUV with us. You would think that the police record would show the city/county we need this, but so far it hasn't. I wonder what next will happen before they decide to take the money from taxes and get that light fixed. Let's hope it's soon before it's too late.
Thank You.
