Question of the day...

Why does it have to rain on my food shopping day??

Of course it will only happen to me. I sat down and wrote out my food list last night...for all 3 stores - Sam's, Acme, and Halo Farm. I then figured out how much moolah I would need, and of
course, figured out my plan of carrying out this shopping extravaganza!

Now, it's thundering outside and it started to spit. So the only thing that would add the cherry on top, is for it to pour the exact second Jon and I arrive to Sam's. Or when I'm loading the car from our shopping trip to Sam's. Or when we're arriving at Acme. Or when I'm loading the car from our dealings with Acme. And so forth. Then of course, the second we arrive home, it'll be a monsoon and I won't be able to do a dam thing to get the stuff out of the car. Then my parishables will subsequently go bad and I'll be S.O.L for food!!

Oh well. At least it wasn't raining on Monday or that would have been a great reason for the crazy but serious accident that happened about 5 doors down from me. To watch it all unfold was jaw dropping. Plus, you know how people said that it happened so fast that it was almost going in slow motion? Well, that's exactly what it looked like. It happened so fast, that it took a minute for it to sink in. Of course with in seconds of me calling 911, I heard sirens in the distance and emergency response crews were there with in 2 minutes (if not faster) of me hanging my cell phone up and running to check on the guy in the flipped over truck.

It was very scary to say the least. I was expecting to see alot of blood but there was little to none at all. I seriously thought that the guy was dead until he answered my "ARE YOU OK" screaming question. Of course, the little bit of simpathy that I did have for him, was overwhelmed with the knowledge that he caused this accident because he was going far too fast on the road. The speed limit is 25 mph. He was doing well over the limit! Especially since he was in front of me on Parkway Ave, making the turn onto our street about 2 minutes before the accident and when I was able to turn on to the street, it was already half way to that intersection. I bet he'll deny it though. We'll see......

The 2 hours it took for everything to be done and cleaned up, it felt like forever.



Jon was constantly asking questions about how they were going to get the truck back up on it's wheels and if the guy would be ok. He thought that watching the fire fighters, other emergency personnel and of course the tow trucks, was exciting. He wouldn't stop talking about it all night!

Doesn't beat the fire that we saw over the summer, practically around the corner from our apartment. He was in awe then too...

I'm happy to know that Jon thinks that fire fighters (like his Uncle Bryan), Police men, and hospital staff (EMT's and the like) are Heros. They certainly are.

Ok. Enough of the depressing stuff. Luckily everyone that was involved with the car accident are ok. Or so I've been told. Here's hoping that they are all ok. I'm praying for them...especially the guy in the truck. He lives down the road from me and I used to constantly see him driving down the road to go home, every day.

Although I know he's guilty, I will still pray for him and the girl that was driving the White Corolla....
