My life Flashes Before my Eyes


i should not be the one to harp about bad winter drivers. On Monday this week, I went to Jobeth and Brads house for a visit. And as the old saying goes, you should never take your eyes off of the road. I went to change the CD I was playing and when I looked up, here is the sight i was greeted by. A Freightliner coming right at me! It was on the wrong side of the divided highway! Yikes! You can see on the left side of the picture, I-90 westbound had two semi's already coming at me.

Let me tell you, my life was not exciting. So not exciting in fact, if you think about it, I had time enough even to pull my camera out of my pocket, aim it out the windshield, and take this picture, and still have enough time to put it back in my pocket before I had to swerve around this semi. What you cannot see, is that this semi was being towed, and it is in the correct direction of travel. As always though, it is a good wake up. Now that I have seen my life, I had better do something exciting so that the next time it flashes before my eyes, it will be something with a sequel worth watching. LOL, hope this gave you a smile as it did me when I took the picture

NOT! Holy crap! Your life just flashed before MY eyes! I was ready to call you and read you the riot act because you didn't tell me about this near miss on the phone yesterday!!!

Glad it was just being towed. I think you just took a few years off of my life thinking what could have happened to you! Wow.

Thanks for the jolt!

I'm glad that your life continues on ... your family NEEDS you. Great thinking about taking that shot. I would HATE to think that this could have been your LAST shot!
