Friday morning, after dropping the wife off at work, my young daughter and I were cautiously driving home in the rain. Some yahoo in a brand new dark blue BMW was ripping along the main highway, trying desperately to pass everybody,weaving in and out of traffic, riding bumpers, taking the shoulder. Some Eastern European lookin guy with a skin tight white knit shirt, designer sunglasses (I did mention the rain, right?) and yackin on a cell phone (no hands-free). I kept as much distance between us as possible, cuz I don't want to risk my daughter for any jerk. About a mile up ahead, in the left (fast) lane, I noticed thick, black skid marks veering left, into the guard rail, a big chunk of black plastic, then skid marks went to the right. I looked over, to see the BMW on the right shoulder, the hood was an accordion, thick smoke billowing from underneath. The tire was gone, and the guy was just getting out of the car, so I missed the action by mere seconds!
Nobody was stopping to check on him, either..cuz, well..nobody cared!
Just goes to show that even on rainy days, Lady Karma doesn't take a holiday!
