I was nearly hit by a car tonight..


for a split second, it briefly flitted through my mind, to just fall out on the road..

It was a Bugatti Veyron..prob worth more than my home,annual salary and 401K plan put together...ah to be a peon..

Then I walked another block, and was nearly backed into by a Maybach limo....

You know that Angel watching over me......

and your mouth goes all cold and dry, and your heart thumps so loud, that you can't stop it?

You don't have to be hit by a car. Just getting hurt while you're trying to get out of the way.

I rarely go to Walmart, I prefer frequenting the local small business, but last night my cousin needed to stop there to pick up some medication. As we were coming out some woman jumped the curb and drove down the walkway nearly running us down. She then came back for a second try, took out a couple of shopping carts then made her way to the main road and left.

I hate having to hire someone to scrub brain cells off my Limo's tires. Plus, if they do a good job, I have to tip them, too.



(just kidding)

(I mean, just kidding about the tip)

Good Angel.

Don't forget, if you're on your bike*, wear white....amen."

Oh... wearing white is not good enough...
