Hello droogies, today I’d like to discuss a brief scare on the road while I was driving to work. As I was merrily driving down the road today, a white van piloted by a clueless driver tried to make a left turn from a road off to my right, in front of me. That would’ve been all well and good except that there were cars coming the opposite way and were not very keen on letting this intruder into their world of happy speeding. What does the white van do? It does a screeching halt midway through its left turn and then tries to backtrack, and ends up in MY lane, but directly facing me. Can you picture this scenario my friends? I was headed for a not so pleasant head on collision with this car, because it aborted its left turn and decides to turn left into my lane, directly in front of me. I was not a happy camper, but I did what any wise smart and self-protective driver would do. Nothing. I just kept going, going on faith that the van would wise up and steer to the shoulder, which it thankfully did. I did, okay fine, I did slow down, but I was not about to yield to the driver. Someone or another honked and for a brief nanosecond, it was all chaos and confusion. But the white van pulled very abruptly to the shoulder and I sped past it. That was that, but an interesting start to my day, to be sure.
In other news, I will hopefully take up tennis again and begin playing regularly, undeterred by cold weather and such trivial details as weather. For lack of players to play with, maybe I should get a tennis ball throwing machine. How sad is that? I need more people to play with!
I have to say, I spend the vast majority of my mental capacity scheming of new ways to entertain myself. Why have I become such a creature hellbent on having fun? Is that all I live for? Aah, I know. I just want to live an interesting and exciting life so that I have something to blog about. The lengths that I go to for my blog audience!
