LIVID this morning
This might be a long one.
I didn't do so well yesterday. I started out good breakfast was a small bowl of grits, lunch a grilled chicken ceaser salad, got home and worked out for half an hour, then ate the left over 1/2 chicken breast with broccoli and rice. Then I went out and drank a few beers.
7 bud lights to be exact. THEN of course when I get home I have the munchies and ate some cabbage casserole that I had frozen, a slice of cornbread, and a slice of health nut bread!!!!
I woke up at 4:30 this morning mad at myself so I decided to go ahead and get up and work arms and abs then go for a 4 mile walk, which I did.
Well, I almost get run over by a car!! The mirror actually clipped my hand!
Let me set it up for you. I am walking against traffic on the white line, wearing a blaze orange shirt. I look like the great pumpkin (charlie brown LOL) in that thing, you could see me from space. I am less than 200 yards from the stop sign at the end of the road and I hear a vehicle approaching from behind me on the opposite side of the road. I don't look back, I'm walking AGAINST traffic, it should be in the other lane. The first one was, the Ahole behind them decided to pass them right before the stop sign. I could tell the sound was in my lane when it was on top of me and as soon as I realized it and felt a wave of panic BAM!!, the car was on me and his mirror clipped my hand. No horn, no warning, nothing. Two birds went flying high and I'm screaming at them like a lunatic, then I realize they might get stuck at the sign for a second if there is traffic on the main highway so I take off running. There was no traffic and they sped off. I WAS FUMING. One mistep by me at the wrong time could have cost me my life. Whats wild is that ten years ago, almost to the day, I was hit by a drunk driver while I was walking. He was doing 45 in a 25 and in the wrong lane.
Maybe cooler heads will prevail, but right now I want to be waiting at that stop sign in the morning to have a little talk with someone.
