QUIS LEGET HAEC

Saturday

About an hour ago I had to go to St. Thomas because I forgot my AC adapter for my laptop. Anyway, after picking up and heading home something very interesting happened. I was at a stop light, waiting to turn, and a truck jumped the curb and was heading straight for me. To tell you the truth I didn't beleive it was happening. For a split second I thought this guy was trying to get to the gas station on the other side of the street. It wasn't until I saw the truck turn it's wheels in my direction that I reacted. Anyway, my first instinct was to tense up and wait for the hit, but something kept yelling in my ear to turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction. So I did what SMART ME told me to do and then I braced for the impact. Well, the guy must have read my move and turned his steering wheel the other direction and he completely missed my passanger side mirror by a mere inch. I swear, I looked in that direction as he drove by my mirror and we didn't even hit or scratch. I was amazed to say the least! Don't ever think that you can't think in a situation like that. It may take a second but your mind kicks in after it's adequately entertained. I just had to laugh all the way home. That's after my heart started beating again. You just can't trust your heart. It's always the first to run at the first sign of danger.
