Got rear-ended . . .
I'm still shook up. Got rear-ended this morning. A young gentleman was riding a motor cycle (small) and rear-ended me. He was driving too fast. He must have seen the light turn green, and must have thought the traffic was flowing already, but it wasn't and he couldn't stop. He tried to drive between my car and one in the right lane, hit my left bumper and fell and skidded in front of a car in the right lane. THANK GOODNESS that driver caught a glimpse of what was happening and stopped otherwise she would have run that poor guy over. The young man is okay, but when I saw his bike fall and him along w/bike skid across the pavement my heart just stopped. He's okay, got up right away, but I suspect a little shook up too. I kept on telling him that I'm glad he's alright, and he kept on apologizing. When I finally got to leave, I again reiterated that I was glad he's okay, and he again apologized.

Needless to say, I'm having a hard time concentrating. Could end up to be just a wasted brain day.

3. Bad Karma
So today I almost get rear-ended again. This time by a pick-up truck. I look into my rear view mirror and there's this pick-up barreling behind me. I assume he plans to pass me on the left, but clearly there isn't enough room so I start to move over to the right shoulder. I suspect he was zoning out because I could see the look of shock on his face when he slammed on the brakes when he finally saw my car.

Humph, I should move into the city and just give up my car.

My plans for today? I'm going to lock my doors, pull down the shades, ignore my phone, plays blues all day long, and then tonight play some on-line games. I fear it's the only schedule I can be safe with today. ha ha :nopity:
