Dong Where is....

Well, as I was driving in what I thought was a light snow I slid on ice and hit a telephone pole. As I waited in the hospital for tests on my ribs and potential internal bleeding (all fine) I kept thinking of this clip because my car is no longer. Time for a new car.

Would you take advice from this man?

I love the Family Guy!

My Life Flashing Before Me!!!

I can only thank God that I was tired and recovering from my sickness, because if I was my regular self I would have been in an intersection be killed by a speeding black SUV. As I waited at the stop light I looked south noticing a sedentary police car with flashing lights. I then focused on the walk lights to determine when the light would turn green when I noticed the tan SUV heading east. I look see the light is green and see this black SUV speeding north.

Just like a spectator at NASCAR waiting for a crash, I too was watching for the inevitable. The black SUV was attempting to make the yellow light, but failed. He hit the tan SUV and came with in a foot of my vehicle before hitting the pole. The tan SUV kept spinning out of control hitting the median and then stopped within a foot of my car. I kept saying please don't hit my car which the main vehicle did not, but bits and pieces did.

After I just proceeded on my way. At first the rush of adrenaline hit me then I was thinking I should have stayed to see if they needed help. However, anger hit me because the black SUV in status vehicle, probably leased, was in a hurry and in doing so caused and accident. I don't think I would ever help someone that caused harm to another and themselves, plus the fine law enforcement down the street would be quick to react, well I hope they would be quick to react.

Solitude

A good friend of mine keeps asking to workout with me and go on vacation. I told him that going to the gym is my time that allows me to clear my mind and I would not mind going on vacation. However, I love vacation, but sometimes when I'm on vacation I just like to relax by the pool or beach having a drink. It reminds me of this from Henry David Thoreau:

" I find it wholesome to be alone
the greater part of the time. To be
in the company, even with the best
of friends, is soon wearisome and
dissipating. I love to be alone. I never
found the companion that was as
companionable as solitude."

Although we are sociable by nature, we always need time to ourselves.
