Holy craps, people!  I almost got car-clobbered twice today!  The first time was in a great big parking lot that happened to be nearly empty.  I was backing out of my parking spot when some lunatic driving across the lot (not in the aisles but across the spots themselves) damn near pancaked me.  It’s hard to believe that he wasn’t paying attention considering the fact that he was motoring across the lot at about 60 miles an hour!  Ok, maybe 30.  He had to come to a very abrupt halt to avoid smacking into me.  Dang, dude!

The second near miss was on my way home from that parking lot.  I was driving down a main(ish) street and some whack job on a side street decided at the last second that he wasn’t going to be able to cut me off and had to slam on his brakes.  No matter that he had a stop sign, I suppose.  Now, it’s bad enough that I almost got schmeared twice in a period of about four minutes but here’s the REALLY weird part.  Both near misses…

...were the same guy!!

This guy must hate me!  He looked to be about 70 years old with a Bing Crosby hat and a beat up old Lincoln something-or-other.  Isn’t that crazy?  What the hell did I ever do to him? 

I’m ok now, of course.  I’m home, taking it easy.  Just relaxin’ and a-chillin’.

In my freakin’ Kevlar vest!
