Today is a really scary day! A woman was sitting idle at the intersection, texting away. A large truck was trying to turn into the lane beside her and she started driving without looking away from her phone. She hit him, and then, once she had backed up enough to let him through, she went back to texting. Then a truck pulling several gallons of gasoline started turning. And again, she floored it! She missed him by inches. If she hadn't, everything within a two-block radius would have been incinerated. I would have come home and everybody would be dead!
And then we get the newspaper. A car collided with a train, and a truck just...fell off a bridge.
Ugh...bad day for vehicles.

lol, I nearly fell down the stairs this morning, then almost got hit by a truck. Yeah, it was one of those days ... for everyone, apparently.
ReplyDeleteGas doesn't always blow things up, and I think most of the myth comes from movies, when a drop of gas and a spark in the next building can cause a big explosion. It IS dangerous, but I doubt that 'several gallons' of gas would have incinerated two entire blocks. (I could be wrong; what I know about gas, I've learned from a coal miner. lol)
I hate people who text and drive. I think they look dumb enough, gaping down at their phones, but when they're at the wheel and doing it, they could kill someone so easily. I'm not sure there's any conversation in the whole world worth that risk.
This is what Lorne told me. I really know nothing about gas, except that he's always got it.
DeleteDamn!! Be safe!!
... Men always have it, lol :(
DeleteThanks; you too!
