could have been me
I am back! I am came home last night but spent the night and my girlfriends house. I don't have to work today or tomorrow...yippy for me. I am still tired as shit. I am going to do some laundry and clean up around here and then go to bed for a bit. I will hopefully be awake by around 4-5pm.
But anyway, as I was driving home this morning I had heard that there was a car accident near my house. I figured it was a fender bender and had diverted traffic to a single lane which made me glad I wasn't going TO work. So, I drive across this bridge and see the fire trucks and all the other emergency response people. Traffic going north was stopped so I turned onto a frontage road and saw a helicopter land in the road. I drove up a bit more and had seen a twisted heap of an SUV on its roof on the side of the road. Then there was another tangled mess of steel and rubber on the other side of the road.
I can't help but think that could have happened to me. I have NEVER been in an accident. I have slipped off the road in snow and ice conditions but nothing major. Seeing stuff like that freaks me out. I know people that drive that stretch in the AM are morons and are always going way too fast. The speed limit in that area is 45. I always do 45-50 on that section. Mostly because there are police that hound that area. So I am sure some idiot was hauling ass and not paying attention and now look at where that landed that person. In bad condition...um hello, a helicopter was called in. I can't help but think if it was me on my way to work this morning.
I am safe and sound and ready to blog my ass off LATER today. So enjoy your day and will post later. Oh and if you are in the Mid-Atlantic region be sure to get outside and enjoy the 60 degree day.
