Without Me

The nil I've had to say for all this time has resurfaced, and if nothing else I make this post for my nonexistent following on my undetected web log.

On 10/15 on my way to work I saw a black SUV slam into the back of a bug on I-405, veer hard into the barrier, flip, slide for 40-50 feet and end up facing me. She had nearly hit us about a quarter mile earlier. What I've taken away:
1) Hollywood doesn't exaggerate everything.
2) My aversion to black SUVs has increased.
3) Environmental metaphors can be found virtually anywhere.
4) Timing is everything.
5) Elderly women are awful drivers.

In all seriousness, something seemed to have been wrong with her. One proposed theory is that she may have been having a stroke, as she was swinging widely from shoulder to shoulder. I may have seen someone die.

Speaking of dying, my computer's kicked it for the final time.

I'm still processing.
