Ryan and he thought I got a VERY good deal in the car. On the way home I almost became carless again. Driving up 101 back home from SJSU, I come up a rise and there’s a fucking fridge or some other big piece of furniture in the middle of the fucking road!!! I mean, what the hell?!?!? Anyhow, at almost 80 miles per hour my car swerves from lane 3 to lane 2 in almost no time at all. I avoid the fridge by a long shot, but not long enough to be comfortable. The next thought through my head is "Way to go Mary!!" Where that came from, I don’t know, but my car’s now got a name. Her name is Merry, as in Mary Mitsubishi, but spelled M-E-R-R-Y. I’m still trying to unwind from that close encounter with death. <WHEW!> That’s all for now. I’m gonna go relax and then it’s bedtime. Thanks for visiting and Keep Coming Back!!!]]>
Jesus Christ man! That SUCKS!
Oh, and will you live? Do you think you can go on?
You should of smashed into the object, so you could really see what it was made of.
Ummm… No, but thanks though. (Ryan, you bastard!)
Woulda been ugly, bro. Glad you’re still with us…
Ya, me too! (I justabout shit myself, really)
Maybe you should slow the hell down. If driving 80 is worth dying for then go for it. Otherwise, don’t complain.
Well, I’m back on my meds for depression… I tend to get suicidal when not on them. Does that count? 😉
But the real question here is, “Why is the CHP be posting from a New York ISP?”
We route our internet connection through Manhattan to throw people off. Doh! I just gave away our secrets..
Heh heh 😉
Seriously, be careful out there. I used to live in Atlanta where there are NO cops and people drive as fast as they damn well please, most of them with their head up their ass or their cell phone blocking their view. There were fatal accidents every single day. People never learn. The truckers are the worst. I remember one day a truck driver was getting off the interstate going way too fast and he couldn’t stop. He ran right over a small Nissan Sentra with 6 people in it who were on there way home from church. All died. My hands use to sweat I’d get so nervous when I got on the highway. If you didn’t drive 90 you would seriously get run over or people would ride 1 inch off your bumper till you sped up to let them by. I’ve lived all over the USA. California is actually pretty good. Worst places I’ve driven are Atlanta, Florida and Baltimore, Maryland. Even New Yorkers drive way, way better than Atlantans. This site exhibits Atlanta drivers at their worst:

Take care and watch out for large furniture in the road!
I hear ya there. I generally drive only as fast as conditions allow. When there’s nobody on the road I tend to go a little bit faster.
I commuted from Modesto to San Jose for 4 years. I saw traffic out here go from bad to worse. I will say that after my incident in the truck, I’m a lot more careful on the freeway. Being pushed into somebody is not a good thing.
Oh, and welcome to my website! 🙂
