Default Re: almost got hit by a truck today

Good story, Mike. And all too often many of us see the same thing. I can't bring myself to trust anyone's ability to do more than one thing at a time with any precision. I know I can't.

Aubun, Alabama is a little town (~20K) with a 28K student population and roads that are meant for a town of 10K. 80% of all drivers are using cellphones and no one uses turn signals. I'm sure you get the point!

On the way to work today, I was toodling along at 60 in a 55 and almost t-boned a FedEx van when he pulled out in front of me. Ah-the smell of smoking brakes in the morning....

I know the driver and will see him on his rounds this afternoon. I'll just ask him very nicely just what the he!! he was thinking.
