Wouldn't you rather have a nice cup of tea?

remembered to eat lunch before 4pm...


You're doing better than me. It's 7:15pm, and I haven't eaten anything today. That will soon be rectified (maybe... I though the same thing at 1:00 and 3:00 this afternoon, and turned out to be incorrect).

Good work Nymph!

And a good reminder that I need to take care of a bunch of car stuff soon too.

I pricked my finger on an ice cube today. The only reason this counts as a success is that I didn't realize that this was actually possible, and I may be the first person I know to accomplish it.

Stayed on the road and avoided the exploded tire on the freeway as it blew right in front of me.

Holy Crap. Just like the movies. Good save.

Reminded me of a time I was driving next to a semi, just a little back in the adjacent lane. A family of geese decided to cross
the highway right in front of the truck. I still have that awful vision of the slaughter and can still hear one goose hit the side of
my vehicle. It happened so fact. If either of us braked, we would have caused a multi-car pile-up. You reacted to avert, we
had to quickly decide not to. Sigh.

Shared some fries and a coke with my kids after spending a couple hours at a splash park. I didn't hoard the junk food to myself.

Yeah... to say my nerves were shot is an understatement. I can feel the tightness in my shoulders now from it. I should add (because I totally forgot) that the driver of the van or vehicle (it looked like a van but might have been one of those work vehicles that look sort of like vans) also kept his cool and didn't flip over or lose control either. While the freeway was fairly open and empty at the time (for a Thursday afternoon/early evening), it could have been much worse than just flying tire rubber and shot nerves.

Please believe me ... it’s scary for the truck driver too when that happens. I’m was always just happy / relieved when I realized my blown tire was NOT a steer tire as there could be severe control issues to deal with too. Please don’t crowd the trucks ... for your own safety.

I wasn't trying to crowd the vehicle. At worst, I was passing them and I was still technically behind them, but off to their left. It was the left rear tire that went. I'm sure the guy in the other vehicle was also relieved that no one was hurt or that the tire's explosion (we heard it go BANG) caused an accident.

My husband did tell me after we were safely away how proud he was of my ability to keep calm and avoid the tire fragments (and they were pretty big fragments.) Though, he did laugh as I had to pry my fingers off the steering wheel (damn death-grip).

I hope you did not think I was implying you were crowding the truck ... certainly not my intent. Over the course of driving in excess of 1 1/2 million miles, I’ve had a few tires blow out with a BANG!! ... and it always startled me. But the worst tire caused accident I was involved with was a lady passing me and her RR tire blew out and she lost control and turned over several times. Fortunately she was not severely injured and her teenager son was OK. Their pup dog didn’t survive.

Please give the big rigs all the room you can???. It’s not an easy job. What ultimately made me retire was seeing so very many cell phones texting while in heavy fast traffic. Be safe!!

Haven't hit anyone today. yet. it's still early.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Yeah... that BANG was terrifyingly loud and a sound I won't soon forget. I'm very grateful that both myself and the driver of the other vehicle were able to control our respective vehicles.

Oh yeah, my husband drove a truck for a short period of time. I learned about respect for those who must drive those big rigs. I hated how he was gone for weeks at a time. He quit because he found more local work and eventually became a plumber. Now, he's home almost every night (except when he's on call, then all bets are off.)

It's not actually a big deal. I just spent the evening with my wife and my girlfriend. Just didn't have the energy for a first date that night. I'm sure I'll meet her eventually.

I kept my scheduled appointment at the local blood donor clinic. It makes me feel good to think that for at most an hour of my time, I may have saved someone’s life and perhaps the lives of several people. Not only that, but while waiting the few minutes for my turn, I had an interesting conversation with a nice lady sitting beside me. What would I have done during that hour if I hadn’t been there? Probably I’d have sat at home in front of the TV, mindlessly watching some dumb show that I really wasn’t interested in.
If you're feeling bored during this Covid-19 epidemic I’d like to suggest
you take a peek at a story I collaborated with SueBrasil, a brilliant author.
It's about a mistake in judgment a lady makes concerning a friend, based
on the hurtful words of someone that only thinks of himself. Will that
conniving person succeed in ruining a beautiful friendship, or will she see
through his lies? It's gradually creeping up towards the 30,000 mark
and we’d love any votes or hearing whatever comments you may wish
to make. It is listed in my profile under ‘FAVOURITES’ as Apologize.
